Do not exhaust your momentum, for when momentum is spent, disaster inevitably follows. Do not exhaust your blessings, for when blessings are fully received, fate is severed. Do not enforce rules to their absolute limit, for doing so creates trouble for others. Do not exhaust your kind words, for when they are fully spoken, they become bland.
Sincerity is the highest realm of life. In conduct, one should be detached; in emotion, one should be true. Life never intentionally owes anyone anything; life is essentially about endurance. When people gossip behind your back, even with eloquent speech, you cannot defend yourself against everything, for the world is inherently full of ups and downs.
To live even one day is a blessing and should be cherished. In our short few decades, do not leave behind more regrets. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west; whether in sorrow or joy, it is still one day. Do not get stuck in trivial details; let your mind be at ease, and your heart will be at peace.
If someone hurts you, you must at least hurt three others in return. Whenever we recall or discuss those we have loved, we are often flooded with mixed emotions. In particular, those relationships that did not blossom into fruition tend to cause the deepest tremors in our souls.
Buddha said: It took five hundred turns of the head in past lives to exchange for a mere brush of shoulders in this life. A single encounter in this brief life is the result of how many incense flames of karma from past lives. Holding hands is a connection, a look back is a connection; life is a connection, love is a connection; if there is a next life, that too is a connection.
