In this world, nothing happens without reason. The wind does not blow, and the tree does not sway. Love and hate are never groundless—they are seeds sown in the past.
We often blame wine for drunkenness, yet it is the heart that intoxicates itself. People trap themselves behind four walls: desire, wealth, fame, and indulgence. Gold may be easy to find, but a true friend is rare. As Eileen Chang said, everyone is lonely at heart.
Some choose to live for the moment, ignoring right or wrong. But wisdom lies not in judgment, but in understanding that a small weight can tip the scale, and a humble appearance may hide great strength.
A dragon in shallow water is teased by shrimp; a tiger on the plain is bullied by dogs. Without the right moment, even heroes go unnoticed. Under a low roof, one must bow. Yet true strength is not in resistance, but in keeping peace within, even when the world is unkind.
