Permit me to ask: What is affection—deep, universal affection?
Something that binds us, living or dead—
    something worth sacrificing for?
While you feel intoxicated, I am fascinated.
It leads to love and hate, sadness and happiness.
With heaven, earth, humanity—everything—
Why do I feel this infatuation?
I wish to ask the powers above: What is affection?

Why the need to ask—no need to ask!
Affection is a process: first feeling, then enlightenment;
Affection is instinct!
Whatever hate and love, kindness and evil—
These roots you have planted in your heart.

Wishing you to have more love, less hate!
Have more love, less hate!
Have more love, less hate!
Have more love, less hate!
Then you will truly learn how deep this affection is!
