Life isn't about acquisition, but about letting go.
Life is actually very simple; today is today, and tomorrow is tomorrow. Those who are struggling are destined to become clear marks in life. Peaceful life is a blessing; a peaceful life is genuine and unrestrained. Simple things, if you think deeply about them, they become complicated. There is a kind of mood called bearing weight in this world. Those who can lift can let go, those who can lift but cannot let go are burdened, and those who can lift and cannot let go are weighed down. Add love to others in a way of addition, subtract resentment in a way of subtraction, and multiply gratitude in a way of multiplication.
Youth is the courage to not follow the crowd and not be swayed by the noise in the midst of a multitude of voices; it is the stubbornness of not blindly following the crowd amidst a sea of people; it is the persistence that cannot be blocked once you have determined a direction. Believe that as long as you work hard, the future that seems unattainable at first will become one of ease and serenity that you have experienced.
There is no one-time solution or perfect choice in this world. You cannot have both spring flowers and autumn leaves, you cannot have both abundant results and flowers in full bloom. You cannot have all the good things. You need to learn to weigh the pros and cons, learn to let go of some things, and then you will get some things. You need to learn to accept life's imperfections and sadness, and then, be calm and composed. Because, this is life.
Life is not about gaining, but about letting go. Let go of a seed and you will harvest a tree; let go of a worry and you will receive a surprise; let go of a prejudice and you will gain happiness; let go of an obsession and you will gain freedom. Letting go is both a rational choice and a kind of transcendence. As long as you can see far, let go, there is no worry that won't make a happy spring robin sing, no stream that won't sing, no flowers won't bloom!
