it seems that it isn’t really an ancient Chinese saying … the phrase was originally said by the American politician, Frederic R. Coudert, in 1939. also an interesting time.
We need fewer election years. I propose to have one every 20 years. All the elected offices are cleaned out and new people elected. For a six month term. After that we go with the laws already on the books and a duodecad budget.

The old Chinese curse says “May you live in interesting times”. I wish we weren’t cursed. Boring can be good.

The older we get, the more we appreciate boring.

Confucius say may you live in confusing times. I think we’ve achieved that. :)
