A conversation took place between Otes and I just now.
Apparently, he doesn’t really know the correct way to address his relatives in Chinese terms. Eg. Father’s elder brother = 伯伯
(Or in this case, Hokkien.)
“Si Ghim (四舅母) is your mother’s sister ar?“
“No. My mother’s brother’s wife.“
“You got no Ah Ghim meh? Your mother no brothers ar?“
“Got.“
“Her brothers all no wife ar?“
“Got.“
“Then how you address them?“
“Hello.“
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness.
