[Reposted] The Influence of Color on People
Today I went to buy wall paint (given the price and other considerations, I’m still thinking of not using wallpaper), and I went straight to Dulux’s flagship store to have the color mixed. The countless colors available for me to choose from (computer color matching) really made me dizzy for a while…… Whether you call it melancholy or repressed, the main tone was decided, in any case, to be blue. But pure blue didn’t seem quite right either, so I agonized for quite a while over whether it should lean green or lean purple. Just as I was staring at the purple shades, a shop assistant said to me: “Is…

Virtue, Reason, and Spirit
I once said, “The sublime are often rational; their decisions or choices should be guided more by reason than by mere whim, or by blind obedience to habit—a person of limited intelligence can also be trained into a selfless sacrificer, and a fanatical cultist may likewise completely abandon his own interests, but they cannot be called sublime, because behind their consistent behavior we see more irrationality. Only someone who has freely reflected upon his own life and can autonomously and rationally control his behavior is possibly capable of becoming sublime.” Later I added: “Actually, there is also a matter of level here. When the sublime reach a certain level, their…

Ode to Wind and Sand
Recently Beijing has been howling with wind, with yellow sand filling the sky; it really is not good weather. When I was little, I liked rainy days and sunny days, and did not like wind. I always felt that fierce winds made people irritable, while a light breeze made them feel airy and insubstantial. Wind seemed to be associated either with violence or with frivolity. But that is just like not liking to eat green vegetables and fish when one is a child: it is merely a matter of childhood. That day, when I got up early and saw dust and sand all over the ground, the words that surged…

The 100th Blog Post~
Unknowingly, I’ve already written so many blog posts—within less than half a year, and mostly in just this past month. Most of my blog posts are long, really long; quite a lot of them run to one or two thousand characters, and everyone says I’m “prolific.” Too bad the comments are really scarce—only 44 posts in total… Seeing Chong Ge’s piece with just six Chinese characters rack up more than eighty replies, sigh… But then again, my blog really is rather boring. Unlike most blogs, which write diary entries, impressions, very everyday things, I spend whole posts writing out my thoughts; of course that would be dull. It’s not that…

What makes us human is, quite simply, that only humans can restrain beastliness with reason, thereby sublimating human nature into sensibility.

Silent Wonder
Although ripples on the water are lively, only still water can best reflect the whole of that vividly colorful world. Those whose hearts are like still water are precisely the ones with the richest, most genuine, and most delicate emotions.Unless otherwise noted, all articles are original works by Gu Ba; please indicate “reposted from Suixuan” when reprinting.

Speak Less
For example, young people are never really in a position to argue with seasoned elders about the principles of being human; the only thing you can do is listen. And I have always been the listener, yet no one is willing to take the time to listen to me describe the path of my own heart… Those willing to listen to me laugh are kindred spirits; those who can hear me cry are soul friends. What I lack is not people who understand my thoughts, but people who can patiently listen as I speak them aloud. When I try to express myself, people say my words are all mumbling and…
