Nonsense?



In our lives, there are too many nonsense things. Seems the only thing we can make sense is just alive. Of course we will experience something meaningful and cheerful, but some things, even known nonsense, we still think about it years and years, just don't want let them go, while some things, we know them important and significant, but ignore and postpone them again and again... Then what's the sense to be alive? I'm not a pessimist, but always feel confused by the hustle-and-bustle life.

When we feel frustrated by those unrealized dreams, what's the power and strength encourage us to continue the primitive lane way? Are human beings always the creatures of vanity?

Last night, there was an exceptional address given by contemporary great architects Tod Williams and his wife and partner Billie Tsien. At the ending, beyond the issue of architectural design, the remarks made me feel awake," never chase to be covered or super hero, you should be aware of what you are doing, you are create something longer than your life." Architecture is not philosophy, but i can find a little bit answer of confusions.
