In life, some people inevitably leave us, and some things are inevitably lost. When facing these realities, we must learn to let go.
Unfulfilled desires bring pain; once desires are satisfied, they often lead to boredom. Life swings between suffering and ennui.
Life will leave us battered, but eventually, the places that were hurt will become our strongest parts.
One should treat oneself kindly, and the best way to do that is by treating others well; the best way to treat others is with tolerance.
Opportunities are not entirely fair, but they favor those who are prepared.
I will seize fate by the throat; it must not make me completely yield.
Life is full of passing strangers, coming and going, brushing past like a dream. Nothing can be held forever; each fleeting moment passes like wind through young phoenix wings or water over ant hills. Dreams require grounded effort to achieve. When we realize some dreams cannot be realized, it is better to turn and choose more realistic goals.
Love and hate exist in a moment’s thought; being detached brings freedom. Life is shaped by chance encounters, and in a sudden glance back, our paths are determined by love, hate, or indifference. Perhaps the longest love brings the longest hate; the deepest hate hides the deepest love. Love and hate intertwined make life feel like a dream. Life passes in a flash, so why cling excessively? Whether family, friends, or lovers, those who naturally remain by our side are the truest and longest-lasting.
Only by bidding farewell to the old can one meet the right.
