@Solzi_Sez Roger Ames treats this subject well in *Thinking from the Han: Self, Truth, and Transcendence in #Chinese and Western Culture* @SUNYPress 1998.

@JoshHochschild @philosophybites *The Consolation of #Philosophy* was the first book that came to mind. Boethius might not rank had I only a year, but perhaps.

It's also memorable because I first read it in Terry Penner's honors intro course at @UWMadison.

《木棉红》 "Red Cotton Tree"
– Zhao Shao'ang 趙少昂 (1905-1998)

(A cotton tree addresses an oak)

We share the burdens
of storms, lightning, thunder.
We share the joys
of fog, mountain mists and wonders
As if forever sundered,
yet joined in roots thereunder.

"To the Oak"《致橡树》
Shu Ting 舒婷, 1977

The purpose of #poetry is to remind us
how difficult it is to remain just one person,
for our house is open, there are no keys in the doors,
and invisible guests come in and out at will.
