Joy is a flower in the heart, while worry is a thorn within; a smile is the best prescription for health. For those with a joyful mind, every day feels like a festival. Learning to let go of what should not be remembered is the greatest happiness in life.
In life, we will inevitably encounter moments that fulfill our wishes; we should cherish every connection and every encounter. Since we have met, let us cherish each other; since we are fated, let us value it. Treat every affection with kindness, every friend with tolerance, the world with understanding, and family with benevolence.
Life is like water, and existence is like tea; no matter how fine the tea is, it fades after steeping too long. Perhaps it is because the sharp edges have smoothed, or perhaps it is because one has become more mature and steady, with footsteps growing more grounded and life becoming more tranquil. Life eventually reaches a state of calmness. Regarding gains and losses, success and failure, or reunions and partings—though we still long for the best, we can also calmly accept the imperfect. Calmness is a hallmark of growth.
Hatred is a double-edged sword; in the process of seeking revenge, one often hurts oneself as well. Retaliation leads to mutual destruction. A life filled with hatred is painful; only by letting go of resentment and choosing tolerance can the knots in one's heart be untied, allowing peace and purity to emerge.
Eventually, some things in life will fade from our sight and depart from our hearts. Time quietly strips away old memories and past scenes, without a sound. The soul cannot carry too much or too heavy; it is better to keep it light. Let the tears flow if there is sadness, and speak your sorrows if there is pain. The hardships of life accumulate as wounds, and the worries of life add to the pain. Even the broadest heart feels the weight when it is choked by sorrow.
