As one enters middle age, vital energy wanes and physical decline begins. Like an old car navigating a rugged road, one must learn to navigate bodily discomforts and coexist with illness. We meet challenges as they come, for nothing can truly destroy a person except the destruction of their own will.
Life is not elsewhere. Some abandon jobs, love, or friends based on the belief that "life is elsewhere." It takes a long time to realize that no such mythical "elsewhere" exists.

生活并不在别处。有些人轻易放弃工作、爱情或朋友，是因为盲目相信“生活在别处”。可惜人们往往要过很久才能明白，世上并没有传说中的“别处”。你所拥有的，也不过是你当下的所持；而你兜兜转转最终得到的，也不过是你在第一个站台所错过的。
当你意识到自己的迷惑时，并不觉得可怜；当你毫无察觉地陷入迷惑时，才是最可怜的。认识自己并降伏自我，才能实现真正的改变。
人生由5%的精彩、5%的痛苦和90%的平淡组成。
两个人在一起，最好的状态就是陪伴。各做各的事，在晚间的黄金时间享受各自的独处，但只要知道对方就在身边，心中便感到踏实。这种在共享空间里保有“个人空间”的感觉，便是最常态、最真实的爱情。
