Finding Peace in Mortality

When you come into this world, you should be aware that you will eventually die. This is a tragic reality of being human. No matter how powerful or remarkable someone is, no matter how arrogant, they will die, and their time will come to an end.

If you have a deeper understanding of the world, you will not feel fear. No matter how small the room you are in, as long as you open a history book, you are gazing upon the sea. People continually struggle, trying to stand out and become renowned. Yet, regardless of their efforts, in the history books, you can traverse the lives of countless individuals with the turn of a page.

Our arrival into this world is both an accident and a blessing. The emergence of life allows us to witness the beauty and diversity of the world.

At the same time, you are also concerned about facing an unknown world. Humans are like dust, exceedingly small. You might experience anxiety, nervousness, worry, and fear of everything. If you view life from your current perspective, you see it as the world before you, and the people you know form your circle of existence.

If we view life from a long-term perspective, it is merely a process, and within a few short decades, everyone will ultimately depart from this world. This is a very realistic and harsh conclusion.

No matter how beautiful, remarkable, powerful, prestigious, or wealthy you were, once the signal of life ceases, everything comes to an abrupt end.

When you are able to consider the long-term view, you will feel more at ease. Although birth is unequal, the ending is certain to be the same.

There is no place for envy, jealousy, or hatred in life. No matter how glorious and arrogant a person was, they cannot escape their fate.

Simple meals or fine clothes and delicious food—these are simply different ways of living. Some people wear gold and silver and reside in luxurious villas, which is one form of life. Others work in the fields and reap the joy of a good harvest through their hard work, which is another form of life. Life is not about being superior or inferior; it is about finding what suits you.

When you have a certain understanding of this world, you will no longer fear it. If you enjoy reading, you can peruse history books and observe the changes of each dynasty. Famous figures exist in every era. As you turn the pages, regardless of their actions, they will eventually be recorded in history.

Do not worry about too many unknowns in life. Live your life well. God has given you limited resources. Make the most of these resources. It would be ideal if you could make a significant impact.

No matter the era or the individual, they are ultimately just passersby in the world.

It is better to live in the present, cherish what you have, live the life you are capable of living, be positive and optimistic, and move forward with a smile!
