From now on, I wish to spend my remaining life with a smile, with fragrant years, and peaceful years passing by.
What a fleeting life! A hundred years of hardship easily fulfilled, yet days turn into years, time slips away relentlessly, and life is tragically short. Before we've even begun to savor it, before we've had a chance to truly live it, it vanishes like smoke, quickly becoming a distant memory.
Life is a cycle of sunrise and sunset, the moon's waxing and waning, flowers blooming and fading, winter giving way to summer. Time always rushes by too quickly; what we see in the present doesn't stay with us, and what's gone can never return. So, in the end, what can we truly grasp or leave behind?
Time will never turn back. The past is forever regretful, and things change, fortunes fade. No matter how much time remains, or how anxious our hearts may be, knowing the end is inevitable, we must still take step by step.
This is such a cruel and merciless fate, isn't it? But who can change it? Ordinary people can't, nor can exceptional ones. Time is just fair, seemingly without compassion, but treating everyone equally.
We should live life joyfully and happily, embracing both sorrowful and joyful days; each day is unique and belongs only to us, deserving of our careful and thoughtful experience, and they are all equally important and worth cherishing.
A day is short, a year is short, a lifetime is short. Time always passes too quickly. We find ourselves rapidly aging before we've even had a chance to enjoy or reminisce. So many beautiful memories quickly become regrets and sighs.
As we grow older, we no longer concern ourselves with wealth or fame. All we desire is a peaceful and quiet life; we hope time will slow down; we pursue a healthy body and a free spirit.
If we can always be filled with joy and gratitude, with passionate enthusiasm, we can sit quietly amidst the vibrant years, without worrying about success or failure, or the separation of friends and family. We only hope for enduring friendships and evenings spent drinking and singing.
Why do we, as we age, find ourselves closer to our original selves? Because with age, we gradually let go of what we should, forgive what needs to be forgiven, no longer striving for perfection, and thus gain a carefree, lighthearted, and joyful soul.
There is no permanence in life, nor is there eternity. In our remaining years, no matter how unexpected events or losses occur, we can endure with resilience, cherish with tenderness, approach with equanimity, fearlessly and without regret.
Believe that each day will be the best, each moment the most important. Every inch of our remaining time should be filled with a sense of happiness, and we should spend it with our whole hearts.
I wish that time would smile, that years would be fragrant, that years would be tranquil.
