I hate intrigue and reject worldly sophistication, loudly calling for the downfall of this secular world. But is that useful? The world does not revolve around you, nor is it under your control. The only way to get out of difficulties is to refine yourself into a capable person. I am not defending "worldliness," but I believe growth is an inevitable part of life. Live steadily, and life will reward your sincere efforts. I quote a poem to express what is hard to put into words: there are no actors who never leave the stage, nor audiences who never disperse; applause one hundred and one times, yet there is still a one hundred and second ending. Let it go—rain always falls silently; soil is not its graveyard. Only the long road is real. Walk it happily, passionately, and seriously.
I do not know if you have seen such scenes: the deep gaze of an elderly person under the sunset, an old man with white hair recounting his legendary youth, or an elderly couple supporting each other as they walk. For them, wealth has already left the stage of life. Yet through rich experience and insight, they have become mature and steady. A heart weathered by time can embrace all things in the world, and their lives thus enter a stable state. At this moment, they are like triangles, standing quietly, looking down calmly at everything, reflecting on their transformation from square to circle. When another angle rises again—life continues. A square, a circle, a triangle; growth continues, life continues. A pure life, a worldly life, a steady life, and a perfect life are gradually being formed.
