I like drinking green tea more than café. Sure it's nice for you to drink café when meet up your business partners in a five star hotel or chat with your old friends in a small lovely café hidden in street corner. But when in my leisure time or alone in my study on the weekend, I prefer a cup of green tea than a cup of café.
Light a cigarette in hand and stare the smoke floating on your head while suck a small mouth of green tea ,tasting its fragrant smell, I feel my heart is so peaceful and always make me lost in my deep thoughts. Then open a book, any book is OK but most time it is written in English, I feel the happy time is coming and the world all belongs to me, a real living world is in my hands now……
Here coming the Mother Teresa with her ever lasting beautiful smile and love. “ The poor are very wonderful people.” She said to me., “When I pick up a person from the street, hungry. I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society---that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable and I find that very difficult……And so let us always meet each with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” Yeah, the feeling is so nice when I am smiling, I hand up the cup of green tea.
The human life is a miracle. Thomas-R-Cech told me in his speech which addressed on the Nobel Reward ceremony: “ A living cell requires thousands of different chemical reactions to utilize energy, move, grow, respond to external stimuli and reproduce itself. While these reactions take place spontaneously. They rarely proceed at a rate fast enough for life. Enzymes, biological catalysts found in all cells, greatly accelerate the rates of these chemical reactions and impart on them extraordinary specificity.” Seems a little hard to understand? Oh, never mind, here is the green tea. I am drinking while reading and reading while drinking, then everything goes smooth to me, thanks to the green tea.
I always have a strange idea that green tea include the great wisdom of Chinese culture, it is so different from café. Drinking café noir will make me so excite and eager to compete in society for something seems so important but really nothing to human life such as money, fame or the position in society, but green tea often make me to be coldness. Gradually I can see the world coldly even share the feeling which The world as in Albert Einstein’s cold-eyed eyes: “How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not .though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people ---first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent , and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. I am strongly drawn to a frugal Life and am often oppressively aware that I am engrossing an undue amount of the labor of my fellow-men. I regard class distinctions as unjustified and, in the last resort ,based on the force. I also believe that a simple and unassuming life is good for everybody, physically and mentally.”
Why not ? drinking green tea is sure frugal than café!
