Be gentle in behavior, but sincere in emotion. Clouds drift into wind, and rain gathers into rivers. Many regrets in life are known but cannot be perfected, just as you can shelter yourself from the wind and rain but cannot stop the arrival of cloudy days. Doing what cannot be done is foolish. Once things are set in motion, trying to destroy the boat to reclaim the wood only leads to losing both. It is better to make use of what the boat offers and go with the flow. Acting according to circumstances allows greater possibilities.
Life is better when it follows its natural course; peace of mind brings happiness. When you let go of gains and losses and stop fixating on success or failure, life often becomes smoother and even adversity can turn into good fortune.
Good things often happen when you are ready for them. What you desire may not arrive in the form you expect, but your wishes will be answered in some way. What you need to do is maintain hope and stay firm in your intentions. You possess such great power within you—why not use it?
Relationships between people should maintain a certain sense of distance. The process from unfamiliarity to familiarity should not be rushed, as emotional depth develops slowly. Two people in love need not only physical satisfaction but also spiritual joy. In this process, the pace of closeness should naturally decrease without skipping necessary details or rushing forward. If it is too hasty, the physical aspect may achieve its goal, but the spirit becomes rigidly unfamiliar, losing true pleasure.
Many times, turning points in fate happen in an instant. Yet when looking back, these seemingly accidental moments often reveal themselves as inevitable all along.
