Welcome.......and my weekend ranting

I have some new friends or readers coming into my blog (a bit sad is that I cannot update it regularly or as much as I want to, as it is blocked in China, hence I can only write when i am out of China). And a new friend coming in to read is Eeemee, and welcome eemee. But I am not sure what makes us wanted to use the word "stalking', that word is too serious, haha. No, you are free to read, and comment, but only when you start writing some foul language, which for an educated person like you, I do not think that would happen, haha. Welcome to comment or even write and share some articles, if you wanted too.

Talking about story (you see, when I have the time, the free time, and when internet is easily available and when my blogsite is not being blocked, I can write, as and when I think of anything at all. This is the freedom I miss in China), sometimes, when i see our people during the course of my traveling, and esp. seeing the group of newly rich chinese compatriots, I start to have some lost feelings......or sometimes, I just see all these are characters, like the one we see in a movie set, like everyone is just acting, in the stage where the world is the platform.
My mind starts wandering and wondering, and images of the people I see sometimes floating in the air. I do not know why people want to show all the things they wear, in very conspicuous manner, in other words, trying to show off that much, or people are crazy chasing for those so called branded goods, stuffs, status, materialistic things, condominiums............food in restaurant when they eat...........all those stuffs, and I began to really see and analyse myself more. And the recent house searching and moving eventually, add more to this analysis, or perhaps, also wake me up. Suddenly, I began very tired. What do we want in life? And is success only measured by these? Are all human beings looking for these because of situation pressures they are in? I do not know, perhaps, it also shows I am getting older. And two things can happen when you get older, you become more greedy and wanting more or you become more simple, and wants more simple life, but meaningful one. I think I am going and moving towards the latter (and I think all these while, I have never been the former, only that I am a bit more careful in the beginning of my career, in my spending. This "waking up" is going me good, cause I do not want to wake-up only after my death:). Anyway, it is good, actually, and now I understand what Buddhism and Buddha teaches more, and I am glad, in that manner.

I am not sure if you understood it well, and I am not sure if I know exactly what I am writing in very detailed manner, but roughly, that is the content I have in my mind, and I thought of recording it down.
