In this life, opportunities and destinies vary. Whether life is smooth, turbulent, or ordinary, it is our own fate. Every encounter, every meeting, and every parting is unique.

By avoiding greed, desires diminish; by avoiding resentment, the heart finds peace; by avoiding excessive seeking, contentment is found. When something comes your way, cherish it; when it passes, wish it well.
