The Guiyun Reformation

The world seems to have become quite extraordinary. Someone is waiting for a hero to appear. You often say you want to change the world, but do you really have the power to do it? Perhaps you won't change anything at all! Our predecessors began their great undertaking but failed to see it through, and now the realm is on the verge of collapse. These days, failing to get involved is a crime; feeling hot or cold is a crime; blaming others is a crime; being unable to defend yourself is a crime; speaking out is a crime; sounding old-fashioned is a crime; failing to tell right from wrong is a crime, but so is seeing the difference clearly; doing nothing is a crime, making outstanding contributions is a crime; being displaced is a crime, having plenty of clothes but no food is a crime, and so on. Even the innocent are accused of crimes. Should one retreat into the mountains, or wait for a hero to appear and change the world? I just want to sit in the back and watch.
