Perseverance, talent, and opportunity are like three sisters of fate. It is the interplay of "suffering" and "joy" that binds them as siblings. Suffering is the process of pursuit, while joy is the conquest of hardship. The rhythmic alternation of joy and suffering composes the magnificent melody of life.
"A person attached to desire is like one holding a torch walking against the wind, inevitably suffering burns to the hand."; "Wealth and beauty are what people cannot let go of, like honey on a blade. It is not enough to satisfy a meal, but if a child licks it, they suffer the harm of a cut tongue."!
In this life, we are like grass and trees for a single autumn; a hundred years is actually not a long time. We should cherish every moment and let go of excessive obsessions. Facing setbacks is inevitable in life. Taking some grievances, accepting criticism, and enduring some hardships are just part of daily life. Do not assume that others are deliberately against you, and thus develop hostility in your heart. In fact, everything is just a life lesson given to us by heaven. Without going through these experiences, how can we learn to be strong? How can we learn to be tolerant and composed? How can we truly see through life? Every rugged or tortuous journey in life is the most unique and beautiful scenery.
Life is finite, and everything we eventually gain will ultimately be lost. Everything has an answer. Rather than being troubled, it is better to let nature take its course. So-called "forever" and "once" — what cannot be reached is forever, and what cannot be forgotten is the past. Sometimes, there is no next time, no chance to start over, and no pause button to continue. Sometimes, if you miss the present, you will never have the chance again.
You want others to understand you, but often only receive misunderstanding, because understanding is a form of love, and without love, who would spend the time to understand you? You want others to support you, but often encounter resistance, because support implies sharing responsibility, and who would support you if they are not on the same page? You want others to treat you well, but often only receive harm, because people always love themselves more. That is why a soulmate is someone who understands, supports, and treats you well, because of love.
