Slowly, one comes to understand that while time can withstand waiting, it cannot withstand parting. Many people leave before they have even said goodbye, and many things become the past before they are accomplished. In life, who has never been hurt, pained, lost, or regretful? Not every chance encounter leads to acquaintance, and not every passing presence leaves a lasting impression. It turns out that the separation after many voyages is merely the most ordinary ending in this world.
Cherishing what one currently possesses is a beautiful philosophy of life. Although the world offers many things, very few truly belong to us. Watching flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard, one remains unperturbed by honor or disgrace; gazing at the clouds rolling in and out of the sky, one is indifferent to their coming or going. In this chaotic secular world, learning to treat everything around with a calm and ordinary mind is also a state of enlightenment.
I once wished for a life where I only smelled the scent of flowers without discussing sadness or joy, drinking tea and reading books without competing over mornings and evenings. I hope the sunlight could be a little warmer, and that life could move a little slower.
"The mountain does not refuse soil, so it can become high; the sea does not refuse water, so it can become deep."
An honest person is not necessarily reliable, but a reliable person must be honest.
Being busy with trivial matters might indeed be busy, but upon reflection, being busy does not necessarily mean life is fulfilling. Rushing around for goalless things may cause busyness, but it only leads to exhaustion, without a sense of fulfillment. We often say we are "very busy," but perhaps being busy is just an excuse that reveals our helplessness in life. In fact, many times in life, we are just wasting our time.
Money can certainly buy happiness, but this happiness is often offset by the pain of losing money.
People come and go, but life is simple: it is about seeing who truly cares enough to stay for you.
