Life is like a rushing river, and we are all just small boats in its current. We either drift along with the flow or rise to create waves that belong to us alone.
When one person is bullied, another steps in to protect them; when one faces setbacks, another dedicates their full strength to help; when one is ill and bedridden, another cares for them with utmost devotion. It is precisely in times of hardship that the bond of brotherhood is most revealed.
Therefore, in life, we should practice the "Four Don'ts." Don't be subjective; Do not rely solely on imagination but break free from delusions to see the true nature of things. Don't be certain; understand that the world is impermanent and nothing is guaranteed to happen exactly as foreseen. Therefore, relax, do your best, and have no regrets. Don't be rigid; leave room for maneuver in all matters to avoid the reversal caused by extremes. Don't be self-centered; set aside the ego, judge matters by their merits, and people by their actions.
First, one must learn to treat oneself well; only then can one truly treat others well.
By not overlooking every brick and tile, we can build grand skyscrapers; by not indulging in every word and deed, we can cultivate noble character.
