Conscientious people know how to be grateful; only those consumed by hatred rather than love and lost in desire lose their sense of gratitude.
If you hold yourself to the same standards you demand of others, you will make fewer mistakes; If you treat others with the same forgiveness you grant yourself, you will win lasting friendships.
No matter how many houses you own or how large they are, you can only live in one room and sleep in one bed; no matter how many delicacies are on the table, you can only eat until you are full once; no matter how many pairs of shoes you have, you can only wear one pair at a time; no matter how many luxury clothes are in your closet, you can only wear one outfit; no matter how many cars you own, you can only drive one. Everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle, which is perfectly fine. However, if your desire for wealth expands boundlessly and affects your health, love, marriage, family, and happiness, you will spend your days exhausted and restless. If this desire turns into insatiable greed, it will ruin your life.
People in this world strive to show off, attempt to persuade others, and never stop talking. But in reality, does our own life truly need understanding from others? The key to living is to be comfortable yourself, rather than appearing comfortable to others. We live our lives, we are not acting in a play; why do we need applause and understanding? Therefore, live quietly and live simply.
