Sequence one of Ren & What I Have Lived for

Today, regarding of the state was not very good, I intended to buy the sequence one of Ren in advance. So, at 2:00, I got on the bus going to Jimei. The fare was still four yuan per person and was too inflexible to afford. Even in this pleasant weather, the bus also turned on the air-conditioning. Gee! In order to make money whatever things they done!
I got down at the Financial Services Institute , buy the very book and went away. It was outrageous of the bad attitude about the bookstore's home waitress. She even had told consumers to find the money for her. Baffling! Do the Consumer assume this obligation? Fortunately, I had change, but what a Bookstore it was!
Tomorrow, I will resume normal study schedule as usual. Being a person by oneself has nothing bad to me. Because I can calm down to think and also have free time to allocate. It really does not matter to feel lonely .
Work hard!
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
