Emotions always tug at the heart, and the heart is often tied to feelings. Every relationship is intimately connected, and every tear is filled with deep sentiment. Whether men or women, adults or children, what everyone deeply desires is true affection, and what is expected is sincerity. When emotions stir, women become particularly attentive, and men may also shed tears. In times of sorrow, children may get angry, and adults may cry. Feelings must not be fake, and hearts must not be hurt. Regardless of the matter or the person, one should always act with integrity. In dealing with people and handling affairs, sincerity is paramount. Hurting others will inevitably lead to self-harm, and neglecting feelings will inevitably lead to inner pain. Honesty and kindness are forever admirable virtues. In this life, we will encounter many people and experience many relationships; some bring joy, while others bring pain.
If desires are not met, they bring suffering; once satisfied, they lead to boredom. Life swings between these states of pain and emptiness.
No matter how intelligent, wealthy, or powerful one may be, in the moment of anger, judgment is significantly impaired. It typically takes about a minute for clarity to return. Therefore, never make important decisions while angry.
How many people, when speaking of 'friendship,' refer merely to pleasant conversations after meals or mutual tolerance of each other's weaknesses? What does that have to do with true friendship?
Being too low-key can lead to losing one's identity, while being too high-key can lead to retreat or backlash.
Being free-spirited is not the same as having no temper, and I have never claimed to be exceptionally kind.
I don't know how much longer I can hold on. Perhaps I will heal myself, perhaps I will be healed, perhaps this is just how it is, or perhaps one day I will break under the pressure and choose to end it. No matter the outcome, I have no regrets.
Love is like a pair of chopsticks, with men and women representing each stick. Only when two sticks are fated to come together do they form a complete pair, working in harmony.
Do not obsess over the same problem repeatedly, nor pour all your emotions into one person. This is unfair to that person, and excessive rumination will only hinder your progress. There are other things to do and other friends to cherish.
