True fate is born from long-term companionship. Those who like you want your present; those who love you want your future. True love is not love at first sight, but growing affection over time; true fate is not an arrangement by heaven, but your own initiative; true care is not demanding change because you think it's good, but being the first to notice their change; true conflict is not him ignoring you, but your lack of tolerance.
1. Life is a journey, and time is a song. After many twists and turns, the heart settles into a calm and undisturbed state. We know that some memories must eventually be buried deep within, some whispers are destined to be unheard, and some people are merely passing travelers. Whether meeting or parting amidst the clouds and water, stories remembered in the heart or lost to the dust are all fragrances on the path of the mortal world. The beauty of this world lies not only in looking back and gathering connections, but also in remembering and cherishing.
2. Sit quietly, my heart. Let no dust be stirred, and allow the world to find its way to me.
3. It is necessary to bend and turn when needed. Because being too rigid makes one prone to breaking, we need more softness to overcome setbacks.
4. If you cannot forget, do not force yourself to. Some people are destined to be lived in memory only.
5. When we cannot turn back, we have no choice but to keep moving forward.
6. The earthquake in Turkey serves as a reminder of the Buddhist truth of "impermanence": first, high structures must eventually fall; second, accumulated wealth will eventually be exhausted; third, life must inevitably lead to death; and fourth, gatherings must eventually result in separation. Truly, all things are impermanent.
7. Happiness and joy are difficult to define or measure. Although living conditions have continuously improved throughout history, our hearts have never been truly satisfied. From common workers to powerful emperors, no one is exempt from complaining about life's lack of happiness.
