Interpersonal relationships are inherently reciprocal. You have the right to choose others, but they equally have the right to choose you. When you seek to test others, you must be prepared to be tested in return.
The phrase "I love you" takes three seconds to utter, three hours to explain, and a lifetime to prove.
Open your eyes wide and see that I am doing well.
The intensity of a person's suffering depends entirely on the concentration of the "ego" in their life. The stronger the ego, the greater the pain; the more diluted the ego, the less the suffering. Objective interest in things can effectively help us escape the prison of the self. Therefore, cultivating a love for nature, as well as an interest in philosophy, art, and music, is highly beneficial. These pursuits not only elevate the quality of life but also significantly dilute the proportion of the ego in our composition. In this way, our lives become less limited and narrow, and our consciousness is no longer constantly trapped in the confined bounds of the self and desire, which are the root of all our pain and anxiety.
