People who take action will eventually benefit, as talent is like a muscle—developed through constant practice. Learning is the path to wisdom; without it, one remains stagnant. All things in the universe are one. When you harm the earth, the rivers, or all living beings, you are actually harming yourself. Gaining is transient, while losing is a state of being. It is not years that make us mature, but experiences. The things we struggle so hard to obtain are often not what we truly need. Does time know whether anyone will return to my world? We seek truth, often not for the sake of truth itself, but to find a form of self-consolation.
