A man visited a high monk and, feeling embarrassed for forgetting a gift, said, "I have come empty-handed." The monk replied, "Then just let it go!" Confused, the man asked, "I brought nothing, so how can I let it go?" The monk said, "Then just carry it with you!" The man suddenly realized that letting go is a form of liberation, enlightenment, and wisdom. — Once you let go, you are free in every way.
A truly strong person does not spend too much effort trying to please or curry favor with others.
We walk many paths in our dreams, only to wake up and find ourselves still in bed.
Life is like a long road of dreams; let the frost and wind remain on your face. In the mortal world, how many directions do beautiful dreams take? Searching for a dreamy, infatuated love, the path becomes lost in the vastness.
Excessive longing can lead to superficiality, cooling the soul. Longing that cannot be helped, watching flowers bloom for a lifetime, hides much pain. One heart, opening its windows, reveals how much hurt is tucked within one's dreams.
Learning how to live takes a lifetime.
If you cannot command yourself, you cannot command others.
Live as a hero among men, and die as a hero among ghosts. — (Southern Song Dynasty) Li Qingzhao
Those who harm others will never find happiness.
When there is no longer any hope, when there will never be a result, you must learn to let go. If it flows, let it slip away quietly; if it surges, let it dry up silently; if it grows, let it wither slowly. Learn to let go, to turn away before the tears fall, allowing life a fresh start; learn to let go, to never mention it again and bury the past deep in your heart; learn to let go, and life will become easier.
