Based on a single fallen leaf, one should not conclude that autumn has arrived, for it may easily be misled by a cunning leaf.
The heart should sow more seeds of kindness. Each additional seed of goodness can reduce a weed. If land is not cultivated, weeds will inevitably grow. Therefore, good deeds should be practiced daily and constantly. Even in the smallest actions, one should maintain a kind intention. Doing good is not for fame or merit; only when it is done with a sense of duty and responsibility can it be truly sincere and selfless.
We come into this world with empty hands and leave with empty hands. Everything in the world is for our use, not for our possession.

Whether one swims in different directions or the same direction, it seems to be the same fate. Yet even when heading in the same direction, outcomes differ. Fate can sometimes feel like a small joke, so one should not take life too seriously and may choose to live more freely.
Life is only a few decades long. Why not treat yourself better? Only you truly understand your own suffering, so there is no need for others to judge. Just understand yourself. In your lifetime, fulfill your wishes and live each day happily. Cry when you want to cry, laugh when you want to laugh, and do not force yourself. Life is your own choice; so-called destiny and predetermination are merely the last support of the powerless.
