You often think that as long as you work hard and give your all, she will eventually love you as much as you love her. It is commendable to be so devoted, but love does not always work that way. Sometimes, some things cannot be attained through sheer effort.
Perhaps we will not meet again for a long time; perhaps new scenery has appeared by our side; perhaps the fallen flowers go unloved. But the emotions from a fleeting encounter will settle deeply, waiting quietly as clouds rise and fall.
Those destined to meet in this life do not necessarily have to fall in love or stay together; what matters is learning to appreciate one another. Some people love you but cannot offer you a sense of belonging. The most enduring relationships are not those that torture each other in the name of love, but those that offer companionship and become each other's sunshine.
Adversity and prosperity are often distinguished by the mundane. If you are obsessed and restless, you are in adversity; if you let go and remain calm, everything is prosperity. Love is a habit—you are used to having them in your life, and they are used to having you. Kindness is an eternal spring, a light in the dark, and the sunshine of the spiritual world. Kindness is the most precious character a person can possess.
To be neither humble nor arrogant is the best state for conducting oneself. Caring too much about others' opinions and evaluations will only make you hesitant and cause you to lose your self, individuality, and value. To persist in your choices and believe in your convictions is the right path for you. What others think does not matter; what matters is being yourself and doing what you truly want to do. Only with such poise can one remain elegant and calm.
