As I am blind, I thought it was the moaning horse who pestered me again, so I cracked my whip to drive him away. Not until a moment ago did I realize I was mistaken. So it was you, Crippled Monk, not Ma Beiming, who tried to draw my attention to your random remarks. It was just that your name happened to consist of three characters and that was the only indication I could rely on to make an educated guess. Now I wish everyone used an English name like Wacky or 2u2m. You see, on Friday I replied to a guy's English poster, not even knowing who he was!
Jia Ren was very much cleverer than others. When he talked to me last week, he indicated his name in English or pinyin.
So I apologize to Ma Beiming for my mistake. But you are just incredible. Every time you invite my whipping by provoking me, then you beg me to stop. Last time you even cried out for help from my wife: Please restrain your husband! How can you sit on the fence watching him beating someone into unconsciousness?! All my life, I had never, ever, seen a fight ended in that most pathetic and pitiful way! But every time I let you go, you provoke me again. This pattern repeats itself for countless times and I am really sick of it! Go write some real stuff with minimal weight. If you can't, then just quit the web and go back to your coffin. There is no point of pretending a writer when your talent has been run out.
Talking about my wife, my lifetime boss that I can never disobey, she is getting on my nerves again. She was quite addicted to the web and now is suffering from the so-called "withdraw symptoms". She complained to me many times that I was too selfish and too arbitrary, not taking into account her use of the web, etc. As always, I cannot argue with her, because I cannot answer her question:
"How can you not control yourself? Why do you have to do something in a "yes or no" way but cannot find a way in between? Look at me, I spend at most two hours at the computer than I go and do something else. I never understand why an adult like you cannot control himself!"
Neither can I understand. Willpower is something that you can never learn. It was born with you as in the case of my wife. She does not have to fight with herself to live a regular life, or to put aside a fascinating book so as to go to sleep, as I have to do all the time. It comes to her so naturally. Unfortunately, among my many gifts, willpower is none of them.
She is quite fascinated with my recent serial essays on cynicism and suggests that I should post them up at domestic BBS sites in order for more people to read them. Having gone through the printed out essays, she said to me with resolution:
"I believe these are the best you have ever written and they are certainly chuan shi zhi zuo that can passed down even after your death. So it would be a great waste to have only about 200 people to read them. You should post them up in other web sites, especially those at home!"
I could only laugh wryly: she has never posted up anything in those domestic BBS sites and has no idea how sharp the knives of the web masters there are. Besides, what's the point? Nobody can fight the tide. I had learnt that lesson long before and again and again.
Sorry I am drifting away. OK, Monk, I have read your remarks and fully understand what you mean, and will consider your suggestions very carefully. Many thanks for your help!
