about

"So as we see
our life is hard
in this world.

We and our houses
fleeting, hollow...

...If you live
among crowds
you cannot flee
when fire breaks out.

If you wish to live
far from others,
traveling is hard
and there is danger of thieves.

The powerful are greedy.
Those who stand alone are always mocked.

Men of means
have much to fear.

Those with none
know only bitterness.

If you entrust yourself
to the care of others
you will be owned by them.

If you care for others
you will be enslaved
by your own solicitude.

If you conform to the world
it will bind you hand and foot.

If you do not, then
it will think you mad.

And so the question,
Where should we live?
And how?

Where to find
a place to rest a while?

And how bring
even short-lived peace
to our hearts?"

-excerpted from:
方丈記 (Hojoki), by 鴨長明 (Kamo no Chomei)
