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.

City residents must enjoy a safer living environment, more convenient transportation, more suitable housing, better schools, better hospitals, more cultural spaces, more green spaces. Workers, workers, immigrants, urban poors, and vulnerable people must be cared for with specific, practical and targeted policies.
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.

Let's think tomorrow
|
This is not the movie "Let Mai Decide" by director Charlie Nguyen with the main character being Ms. Mai. But it is some people living by the slogan "change or die", but the work schedule is left to tomorrow. In the morning, they drink coffee and declare: "From today, I will be different." At noon, they are too busy, so they let the afternoon begin completely, thinking more thoroughly. In the afternoon, they feel a little tired, thinking that change is a big deal, needs to be prepared carefully. And in the evening, they reward themselves with a good night's sleep so that tomorrow can truly begin. That tomorrow, in some magical way, is always ahead.

Holiday consumption
|
In the early morning of the holiday, the wife stood in the middle of the house, her hand swiping her phone as if reading the marching order: "It's only three days, you have to take advantage of it. Eat family-inherited pho in the morning, go to the shopping center for sale in the afternoon, visit grandmother's house yesterday afternoon, watch movies in the evening. Tomorrow go to the suburbs to take photos, conveniently visit a new hot cafe; in the evening eat field crab hotpot. Last day, clean the house, wash blankets, and invite friends to gather in the evening." The husband, while tying his shoelaces, nodded repeatedly, his face was serious as if if he had not completed the checklist, their vacation would have become a responsible failure.

Career age
|

Loyalty
|
People often talk about loyalty as something absolute: Either not looking, or betraying. But life is actually not as simple as those black and white boundaries. Humans are still human, there are still fleeting vibrations before beauty, before youthfulness, before new things passing by in life. The important thing is not whether to look or not, but after that moment of looking, who we choose to put in the center of our hearts.

Living together
|
People often start a marriage with the belief that they have chosen the right person. A person who is good enough, understanding enough, and suitable enough to go together for life. But the longer they live, more people realize the truth that no two people fit each other right from the beginning. No one is born to fit anyone else. Each person carries their own value system, their own way of life, even small habits that seem harmless but are enough to drive the other person crazy.
