My Aunt Could Not Have Been The

To Me Success Means Effectiveness In The World, That I Am Able To Carry My Ideas And Values Into The World--that I Am Able To Change It In Positive Ways.

My Aunt Could Not Have Been The Lone Romantic Who Gave Up Everything For Sex. Women In The Old China Did Not Choose. Some Man Had Commanded Her To Lie With Him And Be His Secret Evil.

I Do Not Believe In Old Age. I Do Not Believe In Getting Tired.

To Shut The Door At The End Of The Workday, Which Does Not Spill Over Into Evening. To Throw Away Books After Reading Them So Theydon't Have To Be Dusted. To Go Through Boxes On New Year's Eve And Throw Out Half Of What Is Inside. Sometimes For Extravagance To Pick A Bunch Of Flowers For The One Table. Other Women Besides Me Must Have This Daydream About A Carefree Life.

People Who Can Comfort The Dead Can Also Chase After Them To Hurt Them Further-a Reverse Ancestor Worship.
