He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Respect for virtues, not vocation.
I fancy a real practice of the sayings from James Stewart:"you should be kind to every person you meet." How brilliant would it be if it can be literally taken place. The thing is, at least, today I realized the only capability won me over respect and admiration. Don't misunderstand my meaning, I don't like these thought at all. I hope everyone can treat everyone kindly at the beginning, out of kindness and, well, courtesy. Because I really, don't agree to the idea that career and capacity are the only yardstick to judge a person, instead we should judge a person by his substance. Is he/she willing to help the others, is she responsible? That's what I care about. Of course I will not deny the fact that, appearance was the significant thing giving one's first impression. I am certainly affected by it. What I often reminded myself that I should understand further a person soul, that's should be the basis of our friends selection. That Russian girl shows unprecedented respect to me, I didn't feel really happy. to be frank, I will not put it as hypocrisy, one can argue that it is natural law and survival skills. But I truly believed that the world will be better if we can judge a person by not only his career and capability, but mainly his dignity and virtues. That's what we should do.
