Letter: *I was ready to sink into the earth with shame


The letter below was written in 856 over 1158 years ago by a man in China. It resonates today as much as it did then, and for anyone out there who has taken one too many a drink on a particular night out will understand it better. Enjoy.
Barry-



*Yesterday, having drunk too much, I was intoxicated as to pass all bounds; but none of the rude and coarse language I used was uttered in a conscious state.


The next morning, after hearing others speak on the subject, I realised what had happened, whereupon I was overwhelmed with confusion and ready to sink into the earth with shame.
