Contentment Brings True Peace.
Indulging the appetite may drain your wealth; even the power to turn stone into gold cannot satisfy endless desire. Though paths differ, all strive to support their families.
Share your heart only with those who understand; words are wasted on unlistening ears. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to return. A virtuous wife spares her husband troubles; a filial son brings peace to his father’s heart.
Overthinking leads to mistakes; stepping back reveals life’s difficulties. Watching seems easy, learning proves hard—never take what comes easily for granted. Wherever willows grow, horses can be tied; every road leads to Rome. No困境 is insurmountable.
When will contentment truly come? In old age, seize moments of leisure. Rather than chase endless wants, cherish the present and find peace in simplicity.
