I waited for this opportunity for three years, not to prove I am stronger than others, but to prove that I must reclaim what is mine.
Life is not "elsewhere." You might easily give up a job, a love, or a friend due to this illusion. Unfortunately, it takes a long time to realize that the legendary "elsewhere" does not exist. What you have is what is in your hands. And what you wander around to finally get is often what you missed at the very first station.
One must live a life of meaning. Those who escape life cannot give it value. As someone once said: Only when the soul no longer engages in any form of escape can we communicate directly with loneliness and solitude.
Hold onto your true love, remember the wife waiting at home, abandon your fickleness, and forget the lover outside the door. A wife is a lamp lighting the way home in the darkness, while a lover is the darkness of the night itself. When you return at night and see the lamp your wife has lit for you, you will be grateful for the choice you made.
In the journey of life, you must choose the right direction. If the direction is right, everything will be smooth; if the direction is wrong, no wind will ever be a tailwind.

Life is like walking through a maze; if one is not careful, one will easily lose oneself.
