Thanx, I guess I will use your suggestions till "further notice" :) [until some one with Japanese backgrounding suggests otherwise] czHANg, ~§~ "...So what is life for? Life is for beauty and substance and sound and colour; and even those are often forbidden by law [socio-cultural conventions]. . . . Why not be free and live your own life? Why follow other people's rules and live to please others?..." ~Lieh-Tzu/Liezi, Taoist Sage (c. 450- c. 375 BCE) ~~~ <<..."Per cosa è la vita? La vita è per la bellezza, e sostanza, e suono, e colore; e anche quelli sono spesso proibiti da legge [convenzioni socioculturali]. ...Perchè non siete liberi, e vivete le vostre proprie vite? Perchè seguite le regole altrui vivendo per piacere ad altri?...>> ~~~ Liezi, Saggio Taoista (c. 450- c. 375 BCE) ~§~ jinsei to iu mono wa, kinchou na geijyutsu to ieru deshou ~§~ <from Japanese> = lit. "one can probably say that 'life' is a precious artform") ~ _seidou wa bijutsu ga_ = "the path-of-life is all about art" the path of virtue is all about art ~
