To this lament ， I dissented ,” Do you know of the water and the moon? The river flows endlessly, say and night, but it seems motionless. The moon waxes and wanes, yet it never grows bigger or smaller. Therefore, seen through the eyes of change, everything in this world changes in an instant shorter than the twinkling of an eye. But when seen through the eyes of stability, everything in this world, including humanity, is eternal. Why then should we be envious of things? Everything in this world has its owner. I will not take even a tiny bit if it doesn’t belong to me. As to the gentle breeze on the river and the bright moon over the mountains, they are a harmonious sound to our ears if we listen to them, and a pleasing sight to our eye if we watch them. No one can present us from possessing them. Their supply is infinite to our use. They are an inexhaustible (取之不尽的) treasure given to us by Nature, which I may enjoy with you.”
