Hate is a double-edged sword; while seeking revenge on others, you inevitably wound yourself. A life filled with hatred is a life of pain and misfortune. Only by letting go of hatred and choosing forgiveness can the knots in your heart be untied, allowing peace and purity to emerge.
Find someone truly worthy of your love. Let those who are vain, fickle, superficial, or incapable of understanding your thoughts, emotions, and character go find their own kind. One day, you will secretly feel grateful that you never had them. — Roland, *Roland's Sayings*
Be mindful of danger even in times of peace; find joy even in leisure; undergo check-ups even when healthy; drink water even when not thirsty; yield when in the right; stay low-profile when in power; rest even when not tired; be content even when not wealthy; remain calm even when not joyful; exercise no matter how busy; stay poised regardless of frustration; persist through hardship; endure through bitterness; maintain ambition despite poverty; keep your backbone even when weak; guard against pride even in success; and practice what you preach. Life is like a casino where we are always placing bets—winning or losing, joy or sorrow. No smile lasts forever, and no weeping is eternal.
Although we live in the present, we often dwell on the past and worry about the future; carrying the past and the future with us makes life cumbersome. Simply live in the moment. In the present, there is no true distinction between right and wrong, real and fake: without right or wrong, there is no need for worry; without real or fake, there is no need for preoccupation. If there were no right or wrong, would life not be like a dream? Yes, just treat your life as if it were a dream.
