Our main goal is to be good people, live wisely, and get along well with others in our evolved society.

It’s important to be independent, have strong beliefs, and be kind.

Living with others means making friends and enjoying company, but we shouldn’t accept bad habits from them.

There’s a saying: “Don’t get too used to people’s bad habits. If you do, they might become disrespectful or arrogant. Don’t expect too much love from others, or you might end up disappointed.”

The advice is to love others a bit (30%) and love yourself more (70%).

Being too kind might make others lazy or take advantage. Just like spoiling kids can lead to misbehavior.

Being kind in moderation is key. Small acts of kindness are good, but too much can lead to betrayal. Repay kindness, so it’s not like giving a treat to a dog that won’t appreciate it.

Be yourself, don’t follow others blindly, have your ideas and dreams, and let your uniqueness shine.

In relationships, don’t be overly generous. Love and help others, but also take care of yourself. Choose to help those who need it, not those who are lazy or make bad choices.

In simple terms, be true to yourself, balance kindness, and make smart choices.

Keep your dreams alive in the theater of life.
