Final is over therefore it is finally over... but then suddenly I'm blur with where am I supposed to go and What I'm supposed to do next. Routine complete. Exam complete. Course complete. What's next?

Status Anxiety By Alain De Botton
On Snobbery as a cause of Status Anxiety:
The company of the snobbish has the power to enrage and unnerve because we sense how little of who we are deep down...This unconditional nature perhaps pains us because adult love retains as its prototype the unconditional love of a parent for a child.

Jing Si Aphorism
The reason we feel lost and unhappy is greed.
In fact, we need very little to sustain our life.
Leading a simple, well-grounded life,
we will naturally be happy and at peace.
by Master Cheng-Yen
