Death solves nothing; only those too weak to withstand hardship use death as an escape. Anyone can speak truthfully, but speaking with wisdom, grace, and appropriateness is a rare skill. Some things are not about right or wrong, nor about truth; sometimes, only a heated argument can reveal everything. Life is short; do not leave yourself with regrets. Laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry, and love when you should love; do not suppress yourself for no reason. It is better to rely on yourself than to seek help from others, for others can rarely be fully trusted. No matter how good an orange is, it remains just an orange, while his heart belongs to an apple. In our youth, we often mistake a moment of emotion for love, and a passing stranger for a lifelong companion. Crying is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of having been strong for too long. To cultivate good karma is simply to avoid harming any living being. There is no such thing as instant fame; it is merely the result of enduring countless trials to become steel. Life is fleeting; we should cherish our existence and contemplate its meaning. Life is not meant for searching for answers or solving problems, but for living joyfully. For every ounce of trouble in life, one needs an ounce of Zen-like peace to find tranquility.
