People who appear happy may carry unspoken sorrows; those who smile often may have silent tears in their hearts; those who flaunt their lives might not be as prosperous as they seem. True happiness is something only one can truly experience. Therefore, do not struggle against yourself or dwell on the judgments of others; live according to what feels right to your soul. Happiness is like drinking water—only you can know its temperature. Your happiness lies not in the eyes of others, but within your own heart.

Sometimes, I miss the days of childhood, when there was no sorrow and no responsibilities to bear. In youth, we do not understand loss; in middle age, we cannot bear to let go; only in our twilight years do we realize that some things feel mundane when fully possessed, yet are perceived as precious beyond measure once they are gone forever.
The fish said to the water, "You cannot see my tears because I am in the water." The water replied, "I can feel your tears, because you are in my heart."
Leisure is a natural state of being. In such a state, the body and soul seem to dissolve and expand into tranquility and comfort, much like a gentle stream flowing through the mountains or white clouds drifting lazily across the sky.
