This provides me with a basis to analyze phenomena that appear to defy this law. In fact, all the true tragedies in our ordinary lives are essentially parts of ordinary life; poeticizing them inevitably leads to distortion. Each of us moves upward, carrying the image of humanity, and the height humanity reaches is represented by those who climb the highest. It is through the existence of these great individuals that we truly perceive the greatness of mankind. Happiness is not permanent, and sadness has an end. There is no eternal joy, nor is there eternal suffering. We should be mindful in times of joy and remain hopeful in times of sorrow. Regardless of our circumstances, we should be grateful for life, for life is inherently beautiful. "It is good to be kind, but bad to be rebellious; pride leads to loss, while humility brings benefits. If tomorrow is sunny and the day after is rainy, who can say what will come?" In ancient times, the act of giving and receiving gifts held profound meaning: giving should not only make the recipient grateful but also preserve their self-respect, avoiding any sense of charity; conversely, receiving gifts requires caution, accepting only small, insignificant items. When you are hungry, a simple bowl of rice from another will make you grateful; however, if someone offers you a fortune, you might feel burdened and even resentful. While small favors bring joy, great favors can bring anxiety. Prosperity fades, flowers scatter, leaving only melancholy with no one to share the sorrow; a bond meant for three lifetimes vanishes in an instant, you are the lotus from the other shore, yet the flower remains cold. Within the sealed memories, how much happiness and how much loneliness; if only there were mutual understanding, why the melancholy, and why the loneliness?
