This year’s “Three Fu Days” span 40 days—a period of intense summer heat.
Watermelon cools but weakens the stomach. Dragon fruit is refreshing yet cold-natured. Lychee tempts with sweetness but fuels internal heat. Mango, though fragrant, can stir dampness in the body. Each fruit has its virtue, but excess turns virtue into burden.
The same holds true in life. Many things we desire offer temporary relief, yet without balance, they become sources of trouble. Seeking comfort is instinct; knowing when to stop is wisdom.
Instead of fighting the heat, we can learn to move with it. Quiet the mind, speak less, eat simply, rest early. Follow the rhythm of nature, and you’ll find ease even in the hottest days.
True peace is not found in controlling the world around us—but in the calm we cultivate within.
