A Couple of Couplets, Depicting Life
This couplet is profoundly deep and can be considered the 'Divine Couplet' of 2017.
The '' of '' written without it becomes '' character;
The '' character's pen is only when it is retracted to be '' character;
One stroke represents gain, one stroke represents loss.
Life is full of gains and losses, always accompanied by each other. When you get something, you also lose something. Don't dwell too much on gains and losses.
One stroke represents the past, one stroke represents the future.
It's as if it's just a blink of an eye, life has passed halfway. Ahead is the desired future, looking back is the memory of yesterday, and today is under your feet. Yesterday cannot be returned, tomorrow is still unknown, the only thing you can grasp is today.
One stroke represents happiness, one stroke represents sorrow.
There will always be happiness and sorrow, they are relative. Sorrow is also a precious experience in life. Only those who have experienced it will not regret their entire life.
One stroke represents yourself, one stroke represents your lover.If you meet someone and walk together until old age, how wonderful and beautiful it is. Emotions are praised because they are difficult to obtain. If you have the fortune to obtain them, cherish them.
One stroke represents favorable conditions, one stroke represents adversity.
There is no smooth road in life, nor is there a life full of thorns. There is adversity, there is also favor. Only by persevering can you know: mountains and rivers are difficult to see, and willows are dark and flowers are bright in another village.
One stroke represents friends, one stroke represents opponents.
It's difficult to have friends in life, and it's difficult to have opponents in life. Sometimes opponents are the ones who know you best. Don't complain about the strength of your opponents, because strong opponents can make you stronger.
One stroke represents persistence, one stroke represents letting go.
Many things you get only after persisting, you will understand how to cherish it when the gains outweigh the losses. But you also need to understand that some things are fruitless. It's enough to try, take it and let it go.
In this world, if you can eliminate some gains and losses, life will not be so bitter. If you look at a square inch, the ability to suppress emotions is the wisdom of life.
