Confucius the philosopher wrote that jade is like virtue and its brightness represents heaven~He famously said, "Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace." This underscores the transformative power of education in shaping not just individual lives, but society as a whole. "Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned? Isn't it also great when friends visit from distant places? “If one remains not annoyed when he is not understood by people around him, isn't he a sage?"
She laughs, she cries, then she sighs
brimming with confidence,
the pain within she denies
Her heart thumps then skips a beat,
as she reads poetry, a taste of bittersweet
In quiets empty moments, a hole
remains deeply in the soul,
an abyss , an unmeasured chasm
It’s the space p~o~e~t~r~y fills
Her personal dead poet society
stirring her deepest passions
awakens her dormant desire
her quest not for fame or fortune
but for the elusive treasure of inner piece
Her confidence misconstrues itself for vanity perhaps,
sureness
positiveness
conviction
certitude
reliability
assuredness
assurance
validity
conclusiveness
authoritativeness
truth
factualness
self-possession
nerve
poise
aplomb
presence of mind
phlegm
level-headedness
cool-headedness
firmness
courage
boldness
mettle
fortitude
belief in oneself
faith in oneself ...
…
…
...are all just more vanities?
free-spirited or lost soul?
do both make one another?
the vanity of human wishes?
work in progress…
