With a withered appearance and dull colors, she blooms into a beautiful countenance and emits a light fragrance upon receiving water; as she sinks beneath the surface, people reminisce about her beauty in the emerald waters.
Some hurts can never be forgiven, some pains can never be soothed, some wounds can never be healed, and some scars can never fade. Some debts can never be repaid, and some sorrows can never be forgotten. No matter how hard one tries to force oneself not to care, or how loudly one proclaims indifference, the pain remains.
Every person in this world is unique, with no duplicate or replica; I am me, and you are you. Later, we look up to others, imitate others, and follow others. Slowly, we are left with the imprints of many others, while our original selves cease to exist. By staring at the heights achieved by others, we lose not only our own height but also the very place where our souls stand.
You have surely had moments like this: others laugh at your pain, yet you can only laugh along foolishly. Fearing that others might say you cannot take a joke, you bend your waist in laughter, even to the point of tears. We often hurt ourselves just to accommodate others; be kinder to yourself, for no one will treat you as their entire world.
Upon reflection, one realizes that distrusting others is, in essence, distrusting oneself. When we speculate about another's inner thoughts, we are like looking at our own lives in a mirror and projecting them onto others, which then dictates whether we trust or distrust them.
Do not view work as a burden. Since you cannot change your profession or find better work at the moment, instead of complaining and resentment, face it with positivity and joy. When you treat work as life and art, you will begin to enjoy its pleasures.
