He has a friend who likes to promise. Promising from small things to big things. Promising to return books, promising to pay for coffee, promising to exercise, promising to lose weight, promising to quit smoking. Every time you meet, you say loudly: "Next week I do it".

Salvation

|

When we are young, we are often fascinated by great things. We want to do great things, create great achievements, earn a lot of money, and live a life worthy of admiration. We believe that happiness lies at some peak ahead. But then years teach us another lesson. There are people who have reached the peak of fame but are still lonely; or own everything but do not know what they live for. Meanwhile, there are small things that seem insignificant, but become the last refuge of the soul. Psychologist Carl Jung once wrote: "The smallest things that are meaningful will be more valuable than the greatest things that are meaningless". The longer you live, the more you realize that human life is not created by great events, but by countless small things that have quietly passed through and remained.

Love is not everything

When in love, a five-minute reply message can cause your mood to decline faster than stock prices on a crisis day. An unintentional look is enough to make your heart happy as if you just won the lottery. And a saying goodbye sometimes makes people feel like the end of the world has come. That is very normal. Humans tend to exaggerate the importance of what is bothering their hearts the most. Just like when you have a toothache, you think your whole body is just left with a tooth. When you are heartbroken, you think your whole life is just left with sadness.

It turned out that while he was busy analyzing human nature, he had no idea that his inseparable item had moved elsewhere.
