22. Among all things in heaven and earth, labor comes first.
23. Never visit a friend at the moment they are suffering humiliation.
24. While hurting others, one inadvertently hurts oneself as well.
25. We fail to find happiness in life because we do not know how to cherish what we currently possess. We are always looking toward a distant "paradise" or anticipating better things in the future, thereby neglecting the present. Unbeknownst to us, what we already have is what we can truly grasp.
