The Three Special Chinese Words 忙 盲 茫 --> mang

1st 忙

The Chinese word for BUSY "忙", consists of two characters:

The one on the left "忄"refers to the "heart", while the one on the right "亡" means "dead".

When we get so busy that we forget our heart, we "die" and become no defferent from the animals.

2nd 盲

Those two characters in Chinese are also pronounced as "mang", which can also mean BLIND "盲".

Again, BLIND consists of two characters:

The one on top is the same as the characters on the right is "BUSY", that is "dead", and the one below "目" means "EYE".

I may be healthy and with nothing with my eye, but because I am so busy, my heart is "dead" that my eyes are unable to see what is essential in life.

3rd 茫

Those characeters in Chinese are pronouced as "mang", which can again, also mean LOST "茫".

LOST consists of three characters:

The one on top "艹" means GRASS, on below left "氵" means water, and the below right is the same as the characters on the right is "BUSY", that is "dead".

I may be so healthy and with nothing with my life, but because I am so busy, my heart is "dead", that I will not find my right way in the world with full of grasses which grow so well near to the waterside.
