We often believe that we love someone so deeply that we are willing to do anything for them.
The friends we choose often determine the kind of life we will live. Before making new friends, we must learn to cultivate our character and temper our nature, which helps open the door to friendly relationships.
When we become simple, we find joy; when we become worldly and cynical, we begin to age.
We are often overly polite to strangers, yet too harsh with those we are closest to.
If we can let things flow as they may, we become the most at-ease person in the world. Peace has always existed within the light of our true nature. Once we realize this nature, we can achieve peace in both life and death.
Among all virtues, filial piety comes first. For those without filial piety, so-called kindness is merely a castle in the air, illusory and empty in form. Filial piety is a fleeting affection and happiness that cannot be repeated; if missed, it becomes a regret for eternity. Do not delay your filial devotion, lest you suffer the pain and regret of wanting to care for your parents when they are no longer there.
Seeing through the mortal world, it is merely a matter of ebb and flow; seeing through life, it is merely impermanence; seeing through love, it is merely meeting and parting. In reality, life is a matter of fate. Under the sky of fate, let us guard sincerity and kindness, persist in hope and dreams, and treat life, living, and survival with earnestness.
Even if life brings pain, learn to endure it with a smile.
