A person can only start from the self, but must never make the self the center of everything.
Between people, there is often a transparent colorful paper. Once it is torn apart, the subtlety and sense of distance will be lost.
To be respected by others, one must first respect oneself. Learn understanding and tolerance, and you will find that the world is actually beautiful—only that we were once too picky.

Just as a shopping enthusiast was about to leave a clothing store, she picked out one more dress before closing time.

Life is not perfect, and happiness is not always one hundred percent. True happiness does not depend on external people or things, nor on ever-changing emotions. It comes from maintaining inner peace and joy. Learn to understand and accept imperfection. Use wisdom to see through the world, kindness to create goodness, and tolerance to embrace what cannot be changed.
