If you nitpick society, conflict will always exist. How can you keep up if you waste your limited life on distractions beyond your heart? What we must learn is to "let go." When the mind is calm, the external environment transforms. True tranquility resides within the heart; the most beautiful landscapes are in the mind, not in the world outside.
Life is like a channel of limited length. To transport more water, increasing the width is not enough; one must also increase the depth and strengthen the stability of the base and surroundings.
In the journey of life, do not offend the wicked, nor those smaller than yourself. Bicker with the wicked, and bad things happen; conflict with the small, and teamwork suffers.
If sincerity causes harm, choose lies; if lies cause harm, choose silence; if silence causes harm, choose to leave. The most brilliant part of life is not the moment dreams are realized, but the process of pursuing them.
Striking stones sparks fire; provoking people sparks disaster.
