The hot air blows, whistling through Guangdong. Clouds pile up, soil piles up, like mounds of marshmallows. Someone chases incomprehensible text messages, while an old turtle croaks. Happy summer, and stay healthy!
In the absolute, there is only knowing, no experience. Knowing is a sacred state, yet the greatest joy lies in existence. Existence can only be achieved after experience. This is how evolution works: knowing, experiencing, and then existing.
A woman who never loses her temper is like plain water—thirst-quenching but tasteless. If she gets angry when you smoke or drink, it is because she worries about your health; if she gets angry because of the scent of another woman, it is because she cares and does not want to share you; if she gets angry when you forget her birthday, it is because she has expectations of you. Women are the most rational yet most irrational creatures; if you have a woman who loses her temper with you, please cherish her.
Occasionally, a pedestrian stops on a footbridge, looking down at the ceaseless, surging flow of traffic in all directions, yet it feels like a static picture. At that moment, I wonder: where is the starting point, and where is the terminus? Sometimes, watching the water rushing from a tap, I feel a deep tremor. In that moment, it feels as though what flows is not just water, but time, mood, or a stream of thoughts.
All love, hatred, and anger stem from one's own heart. The heart is the essence and the source. A good state of mind brings ease and joy, while a poor one leads to despondency. We may not be able to change our environment immediately, but we can change our mindset. Move away from sorrow, release negative memories, plant seeds of kindness, and purify the soul. When the heart changes, life changes. Face life with an optimistic mindset, and life will be filled with joy!
