Inner Peace, Peaceful Years
Amidst the vast crowd, every experience is a journey, all landscapes are unfamiliar no longer, and all fleeting encounters need not be weighed with meticulous detail. They are all travelers. Life has nothing to fear, for everyone is just a passing moment. Come and go, it's all about fate. Whether it's agreement or disagreement, it's simply a matter of the depth of connection. With a calm heart and serene spirit, we can embrace the tranquility of time passing by.
Sometimes, a person's eyes, when observing the world, all things, and others, fail to see themselves. They can spot the faults of others but ignore their own shortcomings. They can see others' greed but not their own stinginess. They can see others' foolishness but not their own ignorance. They can see others' short-sightedness but not their own narrow-mindedness. Life is about introspection, about constantly questioning oneself, in order to truly know oneself, otherwise, one will live with great suffering.
Gather a bit of morning light to brighten the day, hold a handful of sunshine to warm a season's mood. Take a walk in the rain to unleash one's romanticism, a daydream under the clouds to find the breadth and freedom of one's soul. Listen to a lively and flowing melody, and the melancholy clouds on one's face will dissipate, and a brilliant sun will burn in one's heart. Write smiles on one's face; life's four seasons, like a charming bridge and flowing water, or like a clear and bright moon!
The true meaning of life gradually becomes clear only after all superficial splendor has been washed away. After indulging in too much rich food and meat, you realize that simple and healthy vegetables are the best. Only after experiencing both highs and lows do we understand that plain contentment is the truest reality. Some truths are only understood after you've bruised your nose and swollen your face. Some emotions are only truly cherished when they are irrevocably lost. So much of life's sorrow and misfortune is caused by one's own arrogance.
