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".

Love is not everything

|

There is a period in life where most of us once thought love was the center of the universe. 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.

Weak battery

|

People often say: "Even if we are thousands of miles apart, our hearts are still not far apart".
