The path of life is long. Learning to be serene, we realize that not every story can be told, and not every emotion can be shared. Having walked this journey on earth, we must cherish the value of our lives. In a sense, living is harder than dying. Dying requires only a moment of courage, whereas living demands a lifetime of resilience.
The best days are simply when you are lively and he is smiling, warming each other throughout a lifetime. We often only appreciate the value of something once it is lost. Similarly, we only realize our deprivation once we possess it. Past pages should remain unturned if possible; flipping them up stirs dust that blinds us, making it hard to distinguish truth from falsehood. Attachment is a burden, even a source of suffering; calculating too much becomes a shackle.
Consider this: if you were poor, an insult might make you explode with rage; if you were a billionaire, you would likely smile it off. You react only when you share the same frequency and magnetic field. The reason others' words ignite you so easily is that you are exactly the kindling. Our emotions are swayed by external circumstances because there are flammable materials within us.
Life grants us an immense and infinitely noble gift. Life is like a stage; until the curtain falls, you will never know how wonderful you have been. There is success and failure, joy and sorrow. These are all normal states of life. First, remain peaceful. Keep your mindset steady regarding honor, disgrace, success, and failure. One who treats prosperity and adversity, gain and loss alike is invincible. Second, persevere. Once you are convinced of the right direction, stick with it. Nothing goes smoothly from the very beginning.
In life, having loved and given so deeply, remember only the love, not the betrayal. Live without hate, letting time flow calmly and years pass quietly. Let the past fade. With a clear sky and light clouds, carry a wonderful mindset, move forward gently, and cherish every step. This is enough.
