I like how if you criticize the war you don't support the troops. You're the ones sending them over to die, so how is it I don’t support them?

All the people in the Kuo-ch'ing monastery—
They say, "Han-shan is an idiot."
"Am I really an idiot:" I reflect.
But my reflections fail to solve the question:
for I myself do not know who the self is,
And how can others know who I am?
