It is akin to a ship navigating the ocean: while it relies on the sea and rises with the waves, it must also set its own course to avoid getting lost in the vast waters.
Human nature is inherently social, requiring us to integrate into society as much as possible. However, as individuals within society, we must also preserve our independence. It is akin to a ship navigating the ocean: while it relies on the sea and rises with the waves, it must also set its own course to avoid getting lost in the vast waters.
When interacting with the transient people in our lives, we should not expect proportional returns or perfect outcomes. Instead, we should accept fate and await destiny's guidance. Once we have made our best effort and feel no regret, the outcome itself becomes the best explanation. In such moments, a state of serenity represents the optimal attitude toward life.
Life is like a train, and each person is the conductor. You watch passengers board and alight, stop and start, never knowing who will arrive at the next station or who will depart. Amidst endless curiosity and waiting, the train moves from one stop to another. Currently, I often anticipate that the next station will bring happiness and eternity. Yet, through repeated waiting and adjustments, I lost sight of my original goal and even began to lose my sense of self. Having missed stop after stop, I no longer wish to miss any more. I simply want to cherish the happiness at this very station.
