Life is inherently a journey of refinement and a path toward seeking truth. Along this path, we gain a deeper understanding of our existence, which fosters a greater sense of reverence. This is the fundamental purpose of our presence in the world. May everyone who seeks truth remain calm and composed when facing trials—neither anxious nor arrogant, neither blaming the heavens nor sinking into worldly distractions.
The relationship between a noble person and a friend is like water: simple yet pure. This kind of sincere friendship is free from any utilitarian motives, characterized by its tranquility and endurance. Genuine understanding is the cornerstone of such a bond. Only friends who truly comprehend and appreciate both your strengths and weaknesses can ultimately become your closest companions.
Even the best things eventually fade, even the deepest memories can be forgotten, even the most beloved ones may drift away, and even the most beautiful dreams will end. Do not cling to what must be released, and do not let go of what is worth cherishing. After a breakup, it is impossible to remain friends, for wounds were inflicted; nor can one become an enemy, for deep love once existed.
