Words are like the wind—here one moment, gone the next. Everyone talks about others, and everyone is talked about. Arguing can’t win over a mouth, and scheming can’t outsmart a heart. The world can be cold and people distant, but the best thing you can do is stay true to yourself.
Life is but a breath; relationships, a meeting and a parting. Emotions shift between joy and sorrow; life swings from bitter to sweet. There’s no need to cling to gains or losses, nor to force what must fade. Let go, and the sky clears; hold on, and the clouds gather.
True wisdom lies not in avoiding the noise, but in rising above it. Be your own anchor. When the heart is simple, the world is simple. When the mind is at peace, time flows gently.
