Your warmth still lingers on my fingertips, yet my love has long since faded like yesterday's faded flowers. You, so beautiful, have been lost by me... I can only shed tears alone under the lonely starry sky. The greatest loneliness in this world is not being single; nor is it standing in a crowd with no one you know; but rather, two instruments resonating, yet not playing the same tune.
Even gods and Buddhas are bound to have their own pains; their smiles may merely be a facade put on for the world.
Actually, youth is a long road. We never truly know what lies at the end, nor what awaits us along the way. It is an unknown path, a long journey filled with both bitterness and laughter. The bitterness is like ink, dark and lightless; the joy is like a sip of cola after quenching thirst—refreshing and comfortable. Along the way, there are beautiful landscapes and companions. We have weathered storms together, experiencing both reunion and separation. In our youth, with strong bodies, flexible minds, and graceful figures, we appear before various people and things.
Have anything, but not illness; lack of anything, but not money; lack of anything, but not health. Health is not everything, but without health, there is nothing.
As long as your mind is at peace, east, west, south, and north are all good. If there is one soul not yet saved, do not escape yourself.
A bad mindset makes life fade early. Your mindset defines who you are. People do not fear the aging of their appearance; they fear the aging of their minds.
We often do not lose to others, but rather to ourselves—when a bad mood diminishes our image, lowers our capabilities, and disrupts our thinking.
