When you have six apples, do not eat them all. Share five of them with others. On the surface, you have lost five apples, but in reality, you have gained the friendship of five people. When others have fruits, they will likely share with you. You might get an orange from one person and a pear from another. In the end, you may possess six different kinds of fruits and the friendship of six people. Letting go is a form of wisdom.
Time flows silently, and our footsteps within it are equally quiet. Time is gentle and graceful, allowing us to fully embrace the four seasons of nature and the storms of the soul. Time is affectionate; it lets us taste the various flavors of life and appreciate the changes in our journey. Yet, time is also ruthless; it gifts us with the grey hair of age and the wrinkles of decay... Cherish the present moment. Do not wait until the present becomes the past, only to realize your guilt and regret.
Men often do not fully understand a woman's heart. She relies on you because you are her only one. She calls you frequently because she wants to hear your voice. She gets angry because she wants you to comfort her and show that you care. She is jealous because she loves you and cannot tolerate even a hint of your kindness toward other women. The reason women shed so many tears is that they turn all their grievances into tears, while reserving all their tenderness for you.
In life, there is always someone who resides deep in the heart. A pure, unblemished sanctuary; a spark of intuitive connection within the soul. Companionship is invisible yet nourishes the heart with sound; understanding arises from emotion and moves the heart with feeling. Words that understand the heart are the reason for devotion; sounds that comprehend the soul are where affection begins. What we gain with time is not just emotion, but deep movedness; what we possess amidst separations and reunions is not just sincerity, but true feeling. Holding hands through life is easy, but holding hands with the soul is the hardest.
Only those who know how to speak truly know how to live. As the old saying goes: The mouth can produce roses, but also thorns. The thing that truly hurts people is not knives or spears, nor the hardships and difficulties lying before you, but something even more powerful: language. Kind, wise, or warm and scholarly words are sufficient to break through your solid mental fortifications, causing you to ache for a lifetime.
When time presents itself in an invisible and intangible form, we feel that we have many days ahead and that life is long. However, once limited days become visible marbles, you realize that days are like marbles; with each passing day, one is lost. Eventually, your hands will be empty, and you will possess nothing. Therefore, we must learn to use our limited time wisely, prioritizing the most important and worthwhile tasks first, to avoid future regrets.
