All I seek is to let loose in the chaotic city I love dearly, to savor the garish yet prosperous vitality of this world.
Life is bound by death, yet as long as we live, we must do so in the best way possible. No one grows weary of drinking water for its blandness, nor does anyone abandon life because of its mundanity.
Perhaps the very things we take pride in today will one day become the source of our sorrow.
Regret often stems from overthinking when sincerity is needed, and being overly emotional when logic is required.

A watch wound too tightly will not run long; a car pushed to its limit will not last; a guitar string tightened too much will snap; a person under constant emotional tension is prone to illness. Thus, a wise watchkeeper does not overwind, a skilled driver does not speed recklessly, a proficient player does not overtighten the strings, and a person good at preserving health maintains a light and joyful mood. If we pay close attention, we will realize that those who remain healthy understand that consistent exercise and a relaxed mind are the cornerstones of well-being.
