聖經傳道書
在耶路撒冷作王、大衛的兒子、傳道者的言語。
The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:
傳道者說、虛空的虛空、虛空的虛空．凡事都是虛空。
"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless."
人一切的勞碌、就是他在日光之下的勞碌、有甚麼益處呢。
What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?
一代過去、一代又來．地卻永遠長存。
Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.

這些事都已聽見了．總意就是敬畏　神、謹守他的誡命、這是人所當盡的本分。〔或作這是眾人的本分〕
Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

How about the bridge between the ideals and reality
 

但人生一世間又有多少人真能擘指理想與現實的「空洞」呢??

The gap between the ideals and reality should be bridged. Lots of time, we tend to set up higher and higher fences to protect us from being hurt and  guarantee us a more comfortable life.However, the fences don't serve the roles of the protection, but it blocks us from having closer and more intimate relationship with outer world or ideals.Each day we are given countless stones. However, it is our decision to set up the wall( fences) toward the ideas or bridge the gap between ideals and reality.

Hollow is a fantastic word---

Hollow means empty--The  condition of being hollow has a potential to contain more and learn more.

It also remind us not to be hollow-hearted. Only being true to oneself can bridge the gap between the ideals and reality.

Try not make our life hollow, otherwise it will be very horrible. Haha

I don't wanna be a hollow person with a hollow-hearted attitude. I don't wanna to have a horrible and hollow life. Therefore, bridging the gap between the ideals and reality is very essential.

Haha, preventing from having hollow eyes, I shall stop right here. Good night.

人阿....

真不知該說什麼才好.....

都stuffed了，反而卻hollow了！真的很諷刺。

T.S Eliot這首詩寫的夠銳利！

他的另一首荒原「The Waste Land」也很有名，

也是在表達人類性靈的空洞茫然。
