Let us learn to be a bit "foolish" or nonchalant: Be a bit "foolish" toward others, and they will trust you more, seeing you as magnanimous; be a bit "foolish" toward friends, so that no matter how much anyone gives, as long as everyone is happy, it is fine; be a bit "foolish" toward your loved one, giving them freedom and leaving some space for your own soul; be a bit "foolish" toward events, as gains and losses are constant and happiness is hard to find—learn to let go, and your heart will be more at peace; be a bit "foolish" toward the future, for the long road of life means every moment can be a new beginning.
