大同　林钰堂

小异争高下，浑然忘大同；
迟早老病死，奈何不绸缪？

跋

世间热衷竞逐高下处，局外观之率皆小异而已。凡属有情大同之老、病、死，
却往往置之度外。必然之前程不事绸缪，必迁之情势却力图塑造。苦因迷起，
此之谓乎？

Much in Common　Yutang Lin

Quarreling over minor differences for superiority or inferiority,
Thoroughly forgotten that we all have so much else in common.
Sooner or later, senility, illnesses and death will creep over us.
How come people don't take them serious and prepare in advance?

Comments:

Where people in the world are ardently competing for superiority or inferiority, viewed from outside the arena are mostly only minor differences. What are much in common to all sentient beings, such as senility, illnesses and death, are often even put out of their minds. Matters ahead that are sure to come are not prepared for, and yet situations that are bound to evolve and change are desperately contrived to build up. Suffering born of delusion, could this be the description?
