Embracing Partings, Cherishing Connections

In life, we are all destined to leave. Meetings are often coincidences, and separation is a natural progression. After all, joys and sorrows, reunions and partings are common, and no one can truly stop them. So, when that day comes, we must learn to say goodbye properly.

I often tell you to remain calm when people leave and not to cry incessantly. It’s not because I've become indifferent to them, but because I know separation is inevitable. Instead of clinging, it's better to be free and at ease.

Throughout our lives, we will meet many people and also miss many. Familiar faces will become strangers, and strangers will become familiar. All of this helps us better accept the impermanence of the world.

It's just that many people tend to linger in others' worlds, forgetting that relationships are simply determined by fate.

Meeting inherently implies separation, and separation also implies a future meeting. No matter how beautiful the journey, it is ultimately just a form.

All we can do is cherish each other when we meet and take good care of ourselves when we part.

You must understand that no banquet lasts forever. When the time is right and the connection has run its course, everyone will naturally depart. There is no choice; there is nothing you can do about it.

If possible, hold onto the memories and say "take care." If not, then remain silent and say goodbye.

Life is like flowing water, passing by quickly. Gathering and separation are destined by fate, and no one can control them.

In fact, if you wish to have fewer regrets, you should remember your original intention when you meet and remember your original intention when you separate. That's all.
