感激Selina Kinyee Chau翻譯我的散文作品，讓香港及台灣以外的朋友都能看得明白，從中文走向英語，是我作品的大突破，感謝妳一字一句的用心翻譯：）

《WhatsApp and its USD0.99》
by Roy Kwong Translated by Selina Kinyee Chau

The WhatsApp software developer has informed its users to the app to be payable, triggering a fight between iPhone users and android users because iPhone users only pay USD0.99 once to enjoy life-long service but android users need to pay the same price every year.

Android users complain, “Why iPhone users only need to pay once but we need to pay every year?” iPhone users retort, “You didn’t say anything when we were being charged at the beginning. And now you are complaining.” So the two parties are stuck at whether the charge is unfair to Android users.

After the Two Ticks and Last seen on (Please refer to the previous article of the same writer), the WhatsApp started a fight again because of this USD0.99 issue. From between lovers to friends, now it has even extended to the whole user group of the two giant software developers. It should be named the Most Evil App of the Century.

The inconsistency of charging is of course WhatsApp’s fault. However, for those who can afford a smart phone that cost thousands dollars will be able to afford USD0.99 which is only the price of a can of coke, won’t they?

Some student users may complain, “I don’t have a credit card, I’m not able to pay at the App Store, WhatsApp are not considerate of us.” It is reasonable for users under 18 to complain if they don’t have a credit card. But if the charge is a disaster of WhatsApp, isn’t it just time for people to show their kindness? Friends who have a credit card can rescue others at this time, “I have a credit card. Let me pay it for you.”

Friends without a credit card will appreciate what you have done for them, although it is WhatsApp’s fault of the forbiddance of sending messages before the expiry date, reactivating the function for your friends by buying them a can of coke is meaningful, isn’t it? The USD0.99 of WhatsApp has created a chance to show your care to your friends, how nice as a social networking app!

Recall those days when we were still texting, it was actually not financial friendly at all. For the sake of keeping in touch with our friends, we were compelled to use the same service provider as theirs even its service was the worst in the world and we had to survived three times every day from losing connection just because to keep the text messages free of charge.

Still, the Two Ticks and Last seen on functions have created a lot of problem. But the invention of WhatsApp allows us to send messages for free, save us from paying for every text messages. It deserves to be granted a credit. And the simplified process by just clicking a few buttons to send pictures, videos and audios when we could only do so via email in the past. What’s more, WhatsApp had actually stated in the Terms and Conditions that charge may be applied after the first year.

So there have been so many complaints about WhatsApp being unfairness and has been given the name “a broken app” when it announced to charge? No one ever said something like that before the charging. After the charge applied, negative comments has swept over the Internet. Some suggested to use another communication app, Line, which is free of charge, and WhatsApp has become the public enemy. Despite the inconsistent charge, what’s wrong for WhatsApp to charge for using the app?

Have we become too comfortable enjoying free lunch without notice?

I still remember how hard I tried to save to buy a CD home and listened to it again and again when I was a kid. I had never been tired of it because it wasn’t easy. When there was a movie I liked, I saved hard to go to the cinema for it. If I didn’t have enough money, I bought the VCD when it was released. But VCDs were only available for movies not for TV shows. I had to start sitting in front of the TV before the show I liked started so that I wouldn’t miss any parts. And recorders became my good friend too. I really cherished the only-180-minute memory of every tape.

After I grew up, thanks to the advanced technology becomes able to store everything, the TV, computer, CD player, VCD player, game station and recorders, into ONE smart phone, only without the air conditioner. Want to listen to a song? Go to Youtube; want a movie? PPS, internet TV! A TV show? There are also apps you can watch live TV or play back. Want some games? From Angry Bird to Candy Crush, there are thousands of choices waiting for you.

However, The advance of technology has devalue our attitude towards making efforts. Because everything has become easy to get nowadays.

Have you noticed the songs nowadays are not as good as those in the past? That could be the problem of quality itself but more likely, it is because we have too many options. Now we just need to click a few buttons, thousands of search results will come out and we can listen to them right after. We are spoiled to be greedy unconditionally. We didn’t realize how long we hadn’t paid for a CD until the news of HMV’s bankruptcy spread out.

In the past we had to sit still and paid 100% attention to the movie to enjoy it, now we can just watch it from a few-inch-wide screen on a train. But the price is we keep being interrupted by the surrounding noise and people. When the character is saying something moving, we would just realize we’ve missed the stop and have to rush to get off. It may be free to watch a movie like this but I prefer paying to buy a ticket to go to the cinema.

We don’t need to worry about missing the best part of a TV show because our friends always share them on Facebook. We don’t need to watch every scene but you know what is going on in every story. But why is there still something missing? It turns out that we only keep the concentrated part of everything while the every well panned detail has been wasted. We don’t spend time building a connection with the characters in the story. However, if we don’t even spend time watching the the TV show by ourself, how can we feel the same way as the characters do, like we did in the past?

You don’t feel the pain losing something if you have never made any effort. It is just like we keep those old comics that we spent all our pocket money on even they are old and worn , but we are able to uninstall an app on our phone without a thought. Well, just take a couple seconds to download and we will own it again anytime.

While we are expecting making no effort, we are also destroying creativity. Creators lack of motivation. Creativity is worth nothing nowadays. People will search for replacement when one creativity starts to charge. This is not just about the USD0.99 of WhatsApp, it’s about our value on Give and Take.

Technology has changed our life, but we should never let it change our values.

We avoid Giving. But giving is vital for us to learn to cherish. Sometimes we get back more by giving than not giving, not just about money but also about love. Think about it, if we get what we want easily without paying any effort, comparing with that you devote yourself to a relationship while the other devotes to the relationship as much as you. Then none of you will give up on the relationship easily.

If you think WhatsApp is good, it deserves the USD0.99. Although I am still annoyed by the evil functions such as the Two Ticks and Last Seen on. WeChat is free but you have to pay your liberty of speech for it. One user once tried to send the name of Southern Weekly in Chinese, the system reminded him that “The message has involved sensitive words, please try again after making modification.” What’s wrong with the name of Southern Weekly? The even more ridiculous thing is, while I am writing this article, I get the news that WeChat now has tightened up the regulation that users have to use their real name, phone number when posting on the public forum and are even required to upload the photo of them with their ID card, like you have committed some serious crime.

To avoid paying USD0.99, you need to escape to somewhere that and be monitored. One day if you really encounter some sensitive issue, you will realize not paying actually pays more than paying. I believe most of readers are willing to pay for this USD0.99. We hope WhatsApp will open up more channels for payments.

Don’t let the wheels of Time make us forget the value of giving.

【填不滿的心】

送你一面鏡子
認真去看看
你是否已經老化
是否已經憔悴

因為你的心一直在奔馳
你的心一直奔跑在曠野中
不知不覺的就流離失所了
最終你得到的就是
一個苦字

你就猶如一艏船
沒有停泊的港口
後來的結果就只有
苦苦苦苦苦
你一直要爬得越高所求越無度
你不知道嗎？
你已經比上不足 比下有餘了
難道你要從那麽高的地方跌下來嗎？
不死也重傷呀

送你一面鏡子
看看是誰一點點一點點地
侵蝕著你

Shifu spoke these words some time ago. There were more but I only managed to take these down.

2600 years ago, Buddha expounded on the Eight Sufferings that every sentient being has to go through, one of which is the devastating suffering of Illness.

It tears apart the person undergoing it and pains the loved ones of the patient.

It doesn't have to be a terminal illness. It doesn't only strike the old.

The mother who grapples with her baby running a 39 °C fever that refuses to go away.

The teenager who has severe acne that ruined her porcelain skin.

The professional whose allergies always act up.

I think the most torturous illness isn't what I wrote above.

But the illness of the mind.

There is no physical medication to cure that.

The young man who masturbates everyday to pornography, exhausting the life essence in his body.

(The quality and quantity of Qi in our bodies have a very direct impact on our fortune in life.)

The woman who sees no wrong in one-night stands with married men.

The old auntie who hoards a roomful of trash.

The amateur who refuses to learn from a virtuous teacher but instead opt to go into Darkness, destroying all possible chances of liberation.

(Or think that one can learn without a teacher.)

My Grandmaster, Living Buddha Lian-Sheng, 蓮生活佛, once said that all of us are mentally sick. Just that we have yet to drop below the clinical standards of "mentally healthy".

I so agree.

If you look around, and look deep inside, the attachments we have within us are all manifestations of sicknesses.

Greed, hatred, ignorance, jealousy, arrogance, suspicion.

Depression, anxiety, anger, obsession, spaced out, suicidal tendencies.

These manifestations can ruin a perfectly healthy body over time.

Only the teachings from the Buddha can transform these attachments into Dharma medication that heal us over time.

I met this middle-aged client for a Bazi consultation in March. During my analysis, she was crying and crying almost non-stop, so much that the waiter came over to serve us a plate of serviettes.

The consultation almost never took place.

Firstly, she contacted me with a dummy FB account.

My mum's advice to the little girl me: never talk to unknown strangers. 😂

Secondly, one day, she did not address me by my name, but just sent me a message.

You know I'm particular about manners when it comes to my client work. I'm not obliged to help you just because you can pay for my time. No one is.

But she was conscientious enough to send me another properly-addressed message.

She told me several times how thankful she was for my advice.

When I asked for her permission to share this text, she hesistated for a long while, but still agreed in the end.

This is one reason why I am especially grateful to clients and readers, who never shy away from Liking my posts with their real FB accounts.

I have this group of clients or readers who never Like anything. They revel in my writings secretly and tell me it is inconvenient/sensitive. Some of them worry what their FB friends, colleagues or family will think of them, if they Like a Feng Shui/Buddhist practitioner's posts.

One guy told me he didn't want to offend his previous Feng Shui master, a FB Friend, despite my advice bringing him more money than the Master's.

I am like their secret lover they hide in a golden mansion.

人，不要虛偽，不要偷偷摸摸。
光明正大最好。
嘴巴就是要拿來解釋的。

If not for those who have Liked my posts, I may not have written so much and so consistently.

So thank you.

#按讚真的是美德 #分享更是功德 😂

Don't get me wrong. I still appreciate the silent readers. 😍

If you suffer from depression and anxiety for a long time and do not know what else to do, I have this free but very effective advice.

1. Don't kill lives.

Be it an ant, a baby or yourself. Saying hurtful words counts. Forbidding another person to learn the Dharma or any good religious teaching counts too.

Every living being has a Buddha nature.
No one wishes to be killed. A killed spirit bears much grievances and will haunt you.

I see too many people with too many black shadows trailing behind them, and these people tend to get emotional/angry easily due to the Yin energy surrounding them.

2. Don't steal.

Whatever that is not yours, don't take.
Don't snatch the spouse of another person.
Don't bring home paper from the company for your son to draw.
Don't swindle money from the company.
Don't sell inferior products for a high price.
Don't sell counterfeits.
Don't do fake accounts to evade taxes.

3. Don't engage in sexual misconduct.

Sex before marriage often leads to abortions or children who are especially hard to teach.

Masturbation isn't a release but often leads to more sexual fantasies, that accumulates negative karma of the body and mind.

Adultery is never okay. Sleeping with married ones is just as dumb.

Don't flirt when you already have a partner or if the other party has. You are not a butterfly nor queen bee.

Do not behave like a wild animal. Or you plant the karmic seed to be reborn as one.

Also, a man who cheats on his wife is very likely to be a bad choice as a business partner. Vice versa.

4. Don't lie.

You are gifted with the ability of speech and writing, not to slander, deceive, gossip, spread rumours or talk nonsense.

When is the last time you use your speaking and writing skills for good?

White lie is still a lie.
Empty promises are also lies.

"Ji Qian! I will contact you for a Feng Shui audit when I come back in May."

I never ask for that. And I don't care when you want to find me. You don't have to lie and get your painfully accumulated merits slashed.

5. Don't drink.

Alcohol can cause a person to commit all the sins above.

.

Bad Feng Shui, failing business, or a turbulent destiny happen when you break the rules of karma.

Repent consistently to undo what you have done wrong. Go spread the word to tell people not to make the same mistakes as you did.

A person who sincerely abides by these 5 precepts will naturally evoke the protection of virtuous gods. Their Yang presence will help drive away the Yin energy enveloping you.

It may take years for some sins to be rectified, so start now.

There are people who pay good money to wear all kinds of protection amulets, but even the most powerful amulet can not fight against Karma.

佛都不能滅因果，鬼神又怎麼可能可以呢？

So learn how to protect yourself from the root.

I can help you, but first you got to help yourself.

Then again, if you have no guilt over what you have done, there is nothing I can do.

The best Feng Shui works most effectively only for the virtuous.

.

Translation of client's message:

Ms Ji Qian
Today is Mother's Day.
May you be healthy and beautiful forever.
And that everything will go your way.
I have no flowers or present for you
But only my best wishes!

Thank you Ms Ji Qian for your teachings.
My mood and emotions are much calmer now.
My brain is clearer now.
I have been doing what you taught and advised.
And I hope to do it better.
Thank you.
