ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Me
No matter how much I seek to find
what it is that I do not know,
there is nothing.
Nor is there anything for me to know,
for I am me.
Human life is to simply live,
and it is one that is lived in the world.
Such is human life;
such is living.
But no one in the world knows this,
and yet people go about simply living their lives.
This way or that,
man lives one lifetime.
A life lived absent of will
is a righteous life.
But he does not know this;
he hopes for he is human.
Open your eyes, all of you!
Open your eyes so that
together with me
you will know everything.
My life exists as it is and I live it as it is;
there is nothing for me to know.
โ Woo Myung
