What is happiness? Happiness is a pleasant state of mind and feeling. Those who can find joy in every moment are the truly fortunate. A person who smiles often is the most blissful.
You can lose anything, but never lose your dignity; you can redo anything, but life can never be relived; you can discard anything, but never discard your faith; you can accept anything, but never accept humiliation. You may forget failure, but never forget the lesson; you may forget yesterday, but never forget history; you may forget hardship, but never forget the struggle; you may forget scars, but never forget the shame.
In life, so many things are like this; in love, so many emotions are like this. No reason is needed—love is simply love, and liking is simply liking. Without the need for results, only willingness and no regrets.
A gentle greeting is simplicity, as is a silent handhold; a glance back is simplicity, as is a warm word. A cozy home is simplicity, as is a silent gaze; a light garment in the cold is simplicity, as is a glass of water in the heat; a smile upon meeting is simplicity, as is lifelong companionship; walking together through the years is simplicity, and waiting through time is simplicity.
Let us light a stick of sandalwood to calm our weary hearts! Find a shaded spot and savor this ever-changing, beautiful, yet challenging life. The beauty of life will become eternal in your momentary realizations!
In life, greatness depends on responsibility, and character depends on how one handles adversity. Temperament is shown in joy and anger, wisdom in gain and loss, and persistence in success or failure. Walk the right path, let go of trivialities, make friends with virtue, break ties with the unfaithful, drink pure tea, avoid intoxicating wine, open doors of convenience, and close your mouth to gossip.
