If you are taught bitterness and anger, then you will believe you are a victim. You will feel aggrieved and the twin brother of aggrievement is entitlement. So now you think you are owed something and you don’t have to work for it and now you’re on a really bad road to nowhere because there are people who will play to that sense of victimhood, aggrievement and entitlement, and you still won’t have a job.

The year of the water rabbit ends February 9th; so this is pretty much your last chance to have your child blessed with inner peace and contentment through the auspices of Water Rabbit. Better make like said rabbits. 😉
And yes, most Asian cultures track one’s zodiac sign from conception, not birth. Hence, you can still have a Rabbit child if you get busy now.

2023’s Easter is a bit more special than normal. It’s Easter in the Year of the Rabbit! Seems like a good time to put any sinophobia you might – understandably, given what been going on throughout the last three years – have aside and diligently go hunting some Asian eggs. 😆

Oranges, the best Chinese New Years Gift to give someone. 😉 Of course, the display should be beautiful as well and tie into the meaning/predictions of the zodiac sign involved, in this case that would be the Rabbit.

Today is the Asian Lunar New Year and the beginning of the Year Of The Rabbit.
So… Relax, Think Happy Thoughts, Get Lucky, And Make Some Babies?
Yes, in China and across most of Asia, this now the Year Of The Rabbit, specifically the Water Rabbit. It is considered the luckiest zodiac year, characterized by peaceful and patient energy, good luck, creativity, and fertility.
But, in Vietnam, It’s The Year Of The Cat
As I wrote though, it’s the Year Of The Rabbit across most of Asia. In Vietnam – possibly because of odd crossovers between the pronunciation of rabbit in Mandarin and the written form in Kmer; possibly because the Vietnamese have a longstanding and not unexpected bias against the Chinese – this is the start of the Year Of The Cat.
So, so as to both limit Chinese cultural tyranny and to make some inroads against my own personal anti-Vietnamese bias, here’s some fine cats as well. After all, 50 years is a bit long to hang on to that level of hate. 😉
