Cover Calligraphy | Lin Xi
This is a new edition of "Walk As You Please," with a new poetic preface.
Walk as you please, but how far can you truly go?
This isn't a philosophical question, nor is it a self-help psychology topic.
"Walk as you please" sounds liberating, yet it's met with a sharp retort: how far can you truly go?
This book examines the so-called normalcy of the abnormal, and the normality within the abnormal, in reverse. Who defines what is "normal" anyway? We all follow the same path, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's *your* path. Being in the crowd (not a place name) makes us like fish in warm water... Frogs, when the heat becomes unbearable, will attempt to leap; fish, with only a few seconds of memory, forget the heat on one side as soon as they feel it on the other, and in this continuous warmth, they become cooked.
//Not chosen?
Chosen by whom?
Better to choose for yourself first:
Where you are, and with whom.
Choices are inevitably limited,
Perhaps not made for you,
So
Create your choices.
Before searching for A, B, C, or D,
First, seek out the remaining E, F, G, and H.
Freedom lies in your decision,
Contentment lies in filling in the rest.//
Whether a lone wolf or part of the pack, there's no pity, respect, sorrow, fear, hatred, or love to be found—only each person's individual choices. Letting others choose for you, or not minding their influence on your choices, is also a choice.
From when did you learn not to fear stepping away from the crowd?
Walk as you please, can you? If not, do you need someone to walk with you?
Freedom, always carries a touch of solitude.
