Introduction to Avant-garde Chapter 1 – Sai
사람들은 도대체 내 말을 믿지 않아
People never believe me
돈 없어도 시골에서 팔자가 늘어진 걸
I have no money, but I’m relieved in countryside
잘 먹고 잘 놀고 잘 쉬고 전기세 천 육백 원
I eat well, play and all I have to pay is 1,600 won
텔레비전 핸드폰 세탁기 냉장고 없어도 좋아
There’s no need for TV, cellular phone, laundry machine, or refrigerator
농사로 돈을 벌려고 하면 머리가 아파
You’ll get sick once you try to earn money from farming
그냥 줄이고, 덜 쓰고, 가난해도 괜찮은 걸
You just spend less and It would be okay to be poor
아이가 태어나도 학교에는 안 보낼 거야
If my baby is born, I’ll never make him go to school
뭐 나랑 같이 밭일 하고, 밴드하고 산책하고
Well, he’ll just work, play, and walk around with me.
책이나 읽겠지 우우우
Maybe he’ll read some books….Ooh Ooh Ooh
사람들은 도대체 내 말을 믿지 않아
People never believe me
학교가 아이들을 바보로 만든다는 걸
Schools make children stupid
21세기는 과소비 과인구 과속도
21st century is over-spending, over-crowded, over-speeding one
이스터섬 모아이 석상들이 비웃는다
Moai statues of Easter Island would laugh at us.
우주와 깨달음 찾아 해메는 이여
Those who try to understand the universe,
자유와 고독을 노래하는 방랑자여
and Those who sing about freedom and loneliness,
그대는 석유 없이 하루라도 살 수 있나?
Can you live a day without petroleum?
그대는 진정 쓸모 있는 남편인가?
Are you a good husband?
집에 가서 물어봐 우우우
GO home and ask your wife
여쭤봐..
Ask..

This singer-songwriter lives in an abandoned buidling located in a countryside.
He has a wife and a son, but he’s unemployed. He doesn’t even have any money.
He just loafs around all day, playing guitar and singing his own songs.
He and his wife lives by farming a vegetable garden. They produce just as much as they need.
He may seem very useless, pathetic, and irresponsible. He is certainly poor, and unsuccessful.
However, he and his wife seem to be very happy.
Many people seek for money and success, because they believe those can let them do what they want to do.
However, a lot of people who think that way get tied to money and work, and seldom do what they want.
This singer is saying- through his song and his life- that we can be happy without money.
Maybe what makes us happy is not just money, but rather relieved, satisfying mind.
And simple life would be a good way for having a relieved mind.
I envy the singer.
Was there a will behind the Big bang?

I think there was will behind the Big Bang. Something must have happened for the Big bang.
If the God intended it, as some people believe, then it would be the God’s will.
If the Big Bang was a result of movements of energy & interactions between certain materials, that was the energy or materials’ will(to move or interact).
Hello guys (my name)

wow Hi
This is my first blog
My name is Goh Seong Lok
In Chinese characters, 高成綠
Goh is my family name, so it doens’t have any specific meaning
成 for Seong means ‘to achieve, or make up something’
綠 for Lok means ‘green’
My parents gave me this name, because they wanted me to make a greener world.
Surely, I too want to make this world greener, and more beautiful.
My name also implies that I’m a country boy
Hello world!
