Peace in Time, Aging in the Years
People always need moments to slow down and be quiet. Listen to the sound of flowers blooming, and admire the marvelous unfolding of leaves. Then, tell yourself, 'Life is good!'
We once so desperately craved dramatic turns in fate, only to discover that the most beautiful scenery in life lies in inner calmness and composure. We once yearned for external validation, only to realize that the world is one's own, and has nothing to do with others. We once calculated the returns on our efforts, only to understand that everything gained will eventually be lost, leaving only a fleeting reputation. Choose a path that's not necessarily good, and you'll truly have yourself.
Flowers without names can still bloom stunning landscapes; humble grasses can spread a vibrant green. Accept gain with equanimity, and loss with grace. Let nature take its course, and strive for what is inevitable. Find peace in time, and age gracefully in the years. Life is best when you simply go with the flow, and peace brings natural happiness. In life, constantly cleanse your mind, reflect, understand, and prioritize yourself. Two people should understand and respect each other, without entanglement, reliance, or possessiveness, and then accompany each other.
