When you don't see good or bad of a thing or a person, that
your true self has been reviewed. Practice and hold it longer of your true nature.
Once the clouds of defilment come in, you will start to make judgement or discriminate at thing. Then your dream begins again. The waking up or your enlightenment sometimes just come in a split second. Try not to miss it. The longer you can see your true self, the better. The chance of getting the completed full enlightenment will not be too far away. That is known as the knowing of suchness. ( 2 cents opinion)

Physical desire may rage like fire,
But if you think of what happens when you get ill,
Your fervor will turn cold as ashes.
Fame and fortune may be as sweet as candy,
But if you consider the place of your death,
They will seem like chewing wax.
Tao

Filled with desire,
You are like waves seethin ove a cold abyss:
Even in mountains and forests, you will not see peace.
Filled with emptiness,
You are like a cold breeze born from intense heat:
Even in town and market, you will not know noise.

The bird that rests long will surely fly high;
The flower that blooms first departs swiftly and alone.
Knowing that,
You can avoid the misery of dragging your feet;
You can extinguish thoughts of impatience and haste.

China's economy has grown at a tremendous pace in the past few decades. With an expanding market and impressive GDP growth rates, the world is now paying more and more attention to China's mature and upstart cities, as well as its booming i
ndustrial developments.
However, as Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam pointed out recently, most of the country remains poor.
With an 

economic and labour crisis looming over it, the situation is unlikely to get better.
Yet, many people are still focused on the richer urban dwellers in China, choosing to ignore the increasing wealth disparities between the urbanites and rural dwellers.
What is worse is that many are also unaware that the poverty gap is not restricted to the urban-rural divide. In fact, the polarisation is increasing within the city as well.
Many of China's poverty problems are worsened by inadequate health, education and social assistance.
