Learn to practice empathy; by sincerely considering others' perspectives, you will earn more respect and love. Flattery is often dangerous; those who plant words of adulation will eventually reap hidden risks. In the long river of life, aren't we all playing the role of prophets? We begin by crafting our own prophecies, then we proclaim them to the world, and subsequently, we constantly patch and defend these prophecies. The strong defend themselves through action and fulfill their prophecies with achievements, while the weak defend themselves with words and destroy their prophecies through oblivion. Prophecy and defense intertwine, ultimately shaping or eroding our lives. We inevitably encounter unpleasant events, and feeling unhappy is only human. However, after things happen, when feeling low, we can consider whether there are aspects worth being grateful for. If there are, that becomes the reason for our happiness.
