Giving is a duty, while receiving is temporary. Happiness is relative, but suffering is a constant. Life is a countdown, and days move only forward. Life is hard to explain, bad luck is inevitable, fate must be believed in, and fortune can be shaped. True magnanimity is not shown in leisure but in disagreement; true temperament is not shown in success but in failure.
The night sky seen through the rain has a slightly intoxicating haze, and the rain falling in the night carries a cool breeze.
Many people deliberately pursue so-called happiness. Some achieve it, but at an enormous cost. Many philosophers argue that happiness is merely a feeling. This feeling diminishes as satisfaction increases and is closely tied to one's state of mind. The ancients said: "The harder it is to obtain, the deeper the love." When possessing happiness, one should often reflect on the hardships endured. If a person never feels happiness, that is their greatest tragedy.
Since you have chosen the distance, you must only focus on weathering the storms and continuing the journey.
Do not give up or change yourself just because of a minor setback.
Like a cold moon, water turns to ice; when warmth returns, ice melts back into water. When sentient beings are lost, nature congeals into mind; when they are enlightened, mind dissolves back into nature.
Happy people are not without sorrow. Just as bamboo always blooms and withers, and the four seasons always have sprouting and falling leaves, so too is life. I gently brush my sorrows into the depths of my heart. On days others cannot see, I recall them faintly, then faintly forget them. Ordinary days are the most beautiful and the most true. As long as one is content with simplicity, happiness is easily attained.
