Life flows like water, and human feelings drift like clouds. A wise speaker talks of the world; a narrow mind speaks only of home. Fear breeds shadows—where wind and crane sound like enemies, and every bush hides a ghost.
Contentment brings lasting peace; knowing when to stop shields you from shame. Harmony in marriage is like music, two souls in perfect tune. Yet a knife sharpened too much cuts the hand; wealth pursued too fiercely harms the children.
Good deeds hide nothing; secrets often hide shame. True bonds are tested in hardship, and family stands by you when others leave.
Chase wealth with care—don’t trade life for gold. Know yourself, know your limits, and cherish what you have. In stillness, find depth; in simplicity, find wisdom.
