Life has its ups and downs, but no matter what you lose, never lose your peace of mind. When your mood is good, everything feels right; when it is bad, everything falls into chaos. Cry when you want to cry, and laugh when you want to laugh. Do not let the hypocrisy of the world turn you hypocritical. Do not wear yourself out; learn to keep some things deep within.
Life has its ebbs and flows, and occasional confusion is inevitable. But whatever you lose, do not lose your spirit. Smile sweetly and let everything drift away with the wind.
"The Way" is the principle of conduct: being decisive in matters, having a broad mind, being strict with oneself, and being harmonious with others. It is a touch of Zen, a hint of poetry, a stroke of painting, and a way of nurturing the soul. It is the way of being a person of integrity, living a flavorful life, doing things with brilliance, and navigating life's inevitable progressions and regressions.
Perhaps the best days are simply when you are being playful and he is smiling—a warmth that lasts a lifetime. It is only through loss that we realize preciousness, and only through possession that we realize scarcity. If a past chapter can remain unturned, leave it be; for dust may cloud your vision, making it hard to distinguish truth from falsehood. Obsession is a burden, even a source of pain; too much calculation becomes a shackle.
