Speaking too deeply with shallow acquaintances can lead to disaster. Prudent people always maintain excellent self-control; whether in times of prosperity or adversity, they never speak recklessly, knowing that "too many words lead to mistakes."
When you smile at me, my heart skips a beat; when you bow to me, I lean forward in response; When you lose your temper, I remain silent to act as a fire extinguisher; but when you swear a bitter oath, I have no choice but to keep my distance.
A kind heart is naturally beautiful, a sincere heart is naturally honest, a compassionate heart is naturally gentle, and a pure heart is naturally solemn; detachment can nurture the spirit, tranquility can cultivate the will, joy can foster harmony, and emptiness can nourish the soul.
Having experienced the bitterness of parting throughout the world, one does not speak of returning, as flowers wither and fall. Looking at each other beneath the flowers, not a word is spoken; by the green window, spring exists with the sky. Waiting to tell the longing under the lamp, a thread of new joy, a thousand threads of old sorrow. Most of all, what the world cannot hold back: the youthful face leaves the mirror, and the flower leaves the tree.
When alone, I always want to turn back the pages of the past, for those places, those people, and those things; when exhausted, I seek to touch those memories, as they provide the strength to live and the courage to carry on; when remembering, it is hard to let go, for only I truly understand the depths of it all.
