Those in the throes of passion are often like lovers in ancient tales, feeling as if years have passed in a single day of separation. Longing flows like an endless stream, and attachment is like a kite tethered to a fine string... The passion of love is both urgent and sweet, intoxicating the heart to the point of losing reason. It is this mutual love that allows one to immerse themselves in such beautiful happiness, a state that others deeply envy.
When mistakes are made, one should strive to correct them. While this sounds simple, it is often difficult for some, especially those in positions of authority. In reality, they may attempt to cover up errors or even use new mistakes to hide old ones. Others, driven by pride, refuse to change, complicating simple issues and ultimately hurting both themselves and others.
