The words of those with experience are beautiful, and many around them take their judgments as law.

One day, someone said: A person should elevate their speech, not their voice; it is the rain that makes flowers bloom, not thunder.

Another, weary from life’s experiences, said: Illusion is half the disease, peace of mind is half the cure, and patience is the first step toward healing.

How beautiful are life’s experiences, and how lovely when one resembles the other! For this world is but the vanity of the arrogant.

And tomorrow will be another day...
