Let me explain. I think it would be very unusual for anyone here, or anyone watching, to be envious of the Queen of England. Even though she is much richer than any of you are, and she's got a very large house, the reason why we don't envy her is because she's too weird.
Beware of the Turing tar-pit in which everything is possible but nothing of interest is easy.
放空你的心，如水一般无形，化为水吧，我的朋友。
