Persuading oneself is a victory of reason; moving oneself is a sublimation of the soul; conquering oneself is the maturity of life. To transcend oneself is the maturity of growth; to liberate oneself is the release of entanglements. Two brilliant minds with vast differences in talent may become friends, but never enemies. Sometimes, when seeking companionship, one finds some people cannot be reached, some should not be sought, and others simply cannot be found. Deleting social media contacts is often just a way to find an outlet, wanting only to stare blankly in solitude when the mood is low. Where the wind blows, a trace of nostalgia remains. Time flows silently, and years pass quietly. We are like specks of dust; whether our steps are deep or shallow, or the road is long or short, most of what we have walked is forgotten, and no one can leave a lasting mark. Friends can become lovers, but lovers cannot become friends. A healthy state of mind is to enjoy the excellence, accept the failures, strive when energetic, and rest when exhausted. We are always losers in a race against time; we can only strive to make the effort honorable. There is love everywhere in this world; please feel free to be yourself. Believe that life can become more beautiful, and let us join this grand game of existence. The wise know how to let go, the sincere know how to sacrifice, and the happy know how to transcend. While possessing, we may be losing; while losing, we may be gaining anew. On life's journey, listening to the stories of others, we forget the fiction and embrace them as truths of life. Perhaps what we have been searching for all along is hidden within those beautiful stories.
