Tasting the Bitters and Sweets of Life, Experiencing the Sadness and Joy!
A person's life is like a journey, encountering heavy burdens, worries, disappointments, sadness, as well as enjoying moments of relaxation, happiness, joy, and satisfaction.
My own life, whether dark or brilliant, is entirely up to me to write. Especially, vividly portray the gloomy and troublesome parts of life, making them shine brilliantly!
Take a love affair, for example. Love can transform us into four different people: lovable, pitiable, laughable, and tragic.
You love him, but he doesn't love you, it's laughable; knowing he doesn't love you, yet stubbornly clinging on, it's pitiable; already pitiable, still going all out, this is tragic; bad romances can gradually destroy your heart; good romances only make you more lovable.
Similarly, consider friendship. As you walk through life, you gradually come to know each other; you become friends through mutual understanding; as you continue, you develop a deep connection.
You become inseparable siblings, a bond forged through shared experiences. This friendship might last forever, or it might end bitterly, or it might bring joy and sorrow.
Some people can achieve a level of intimacy where they can talk about anything and everything; others become strangers, meeting with hostile eyes.
Life is indeed difficult! There are joys and sorrows, hardships and sweetness, laughter and tears, pain and healing.
Life is like a dream, both real and illusory; life is like a play, both joyful and sorrowful; life is like a journey, filled with both crying and singing.
When the curtain falls and the audience disperses, those who are saddened only mourn their sorrows, those who are joyful only revel in their happiness.
Because only I am my own God, so don't rely on others to save you.
When you encounter difficulties, suffer misfortunes, or even reach a desperate situation, what do you do? Do you just cry and complain?
Like Xianglinwa, rambling about her misfortunes to everyone – is that useful? At most, it might elicit a sigh from others and a drop of pitying tears.
The only ingenious way to escape and shed the misfortunes of life is to plant sunshine in your heart, boost your spirits, and keep moving forward, singing along the way, challenging life and heading towards happiness!
Rabindranath Tagore said: On the path of life, not everyone is standing in the same place—some are at the foot of the mountain, some at the sea, some on the plains; but no one can remain still, everyone must move forward.
Those at the foot of the mountain can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountain and its surroundings; those at the sea can appreciate the vastness of the ocean's waves; those on the plains can admire the vast landscape.
In all of this appreciating, understanding, and imagining, savor the bitterness and sweetness of life, appreciate the sadness and joy of life!
Sometimes, people show a smiling face not because they are happy, but because they don't want their loved ones to worry or be sad, or to see their own sadness and melancholy in those around them.
But in reality, we are not as strong as we imagine.
Life's desires, when achieved, are joyful; when not achieved, there's no need to worry. Let joy and sorrow come and go, gains and losses come and go. Excessive ambition often results in building 'a palace in the air,' which ends in sorrow and lamentation!
To change your destiny, first change yourself. I don't approve of 'hitting a dead end and a stone wall,' because 'after the storm, the rainbow appears'; I strongly believe in 'after the rain, the rainbow appears.'
If you fall, get up and keep moving forward—that's the courage of a hero, the wisdom of a sage, and the way to success; if you fall and refuse to get up, just crying—that's the weakness of a loser, the cowardice of a failure!
Those who are courageous and wise should cry and sing, writing a magnificent and glorious life!
