Ignorance is not scary; what is scary is sincere ignorance. Stupidity is not scary; what is scary is responsible stupidity. Being lost is not scary; what is scary is persistent wandering. In life, excitement, pain, and mundanity each play a part. People are often tempted by excitement, endure pain, and spend their lives in the mundane. A lover is like coarse cloth; though not beautiful, it protects against the wind and cold. A paramour is like high fashion; it feels wonderful, but is not practical for daily wear. Immature love says, "I love you because I need you." Mature love says, "I need you because I love you." If one can gain without guilt and lose without regret, then let the outcome be as it may. It has been proven that in romance, feelings can withstand storms but not mundanity; in friendship, it is the opposite. Regarding craftsmanship and mastery: those who follow rules are craftsmen, while those who innovate are masters; those who are rational are craftsmen, while those who are passionate are masters. Instead of spending money on late-night outings with lovers, one should buy fruit and vegetables for their mother while they are still around. The "four masters" of modern times: waving hands when foreign investors arrive, turning backs when problems arise, reaching out when profits appear, and using hands when words fail. Where there are many weeds, there is little grain; where there are many empty words, there is little wisdom. He who chases two rabbits will catch neither. In a sense, loss is also a form of gain. The character "He" (harmony) has a "mouth" on the right, meaning everyone should have food; the character "Xie" (harmony) has "speech" on the left, meaning everyone should have a voice. When you can fly, do not give up flying; when you can dream, do not give up dreaming; when you can love, your greetings needn't be formal, but they must be sincere. When people do something good, they want the gods to know; when they do something bad, they think the gods won't know. We truly make it difficult for the gods.
