Time is an endless river with no beginning or end. It's like an expansive landfill—no matter how much nonsense you have, it's never enough to fill it. The probability of being submerged or overwhelmed by time is infinitely close to zero. When one thinks they have a clever idea and considers it brilliant, the likelihood of being drowned by the collective criticism of others is high, and even more so, they are likely to be taught a harsh lesson by the relentless passage of time. This is like how drowning victims are often skilled swimmers—whether they are reincarnated dragons or incarnations of the River God. Time is invincible. We waste our words clinging to it, but eventually, there comes a time when we must stop. Wasting time on nonsense is just killing time along the way, merely passing a limited life in meaningless pursuits. Cao Pi was not only a writer who recorded the Tao but also an astrologer. He said, "Life has its limits, and glory and joy end with the individual. These are inevitable periods, but it is better than the boundless nature of literature." Of course, the physical body cannot compare to the longevity of literature, but will literature truly reach an "infinity"? I don't have the same information as him. I am not an astrologer, so the fate of 2005 Network Writing is left to time to decide.
