When your messages go unanswered, when your concern is met with indifference, when your enthusiasm is coldly received, and when your sincerity is met with deceit, it is not because they are too busy. It is simply that you are not in their hearts. They do not cherish you, so they are indifferent; they do not think of you, so you are dispensable.
What we truly need is actually simple: perhaps just a breeze, a few clouds, and a few scenic spots. Only by embracing simplicity can we find the true essence of our lives. Life's hundred flavors, condensed to the end, boil down to a single word: "faint" or "simple." Struggle is salt; without it, even the finest life's delicacies are tasteless.

A man's ability to give you a sense of security does not depend on his height, but on the nobility of his heart. I have seen many tall but spineless men, and many short but spirited men.

Some people have a very small inner territory, so small that it contains only themselves. Such people do not compromise or settle. They maintain their dignity in their hearts all their lives, resolutely searching the world for another version of themselves.
