He was sitting on a technology car. The driver just started the engine and immediately plugged the phone into the support, opening Google Maps. A very confident blue line appeared on the screen. The Google woman kept raising her voice: "After two hundred meters, turn right". He suddenly thought, perhaps in this world only Google Maps always knows where to go. It doesn't hesitate, doesn't hesitate, doesn't stay up all night because of questions like "Am I going in the right direction?". If it turns wrong, it won't be angry or desperate. It just calmly says: "Looking for a new path". If people could also be like that, life would surely be less sad.

|

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

|

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.
