If given the choice, what kind of life would you most desire?
Perhaps I would reside in a quaint town, awakening naturally in the morning, strolling leisurely to the breakfast shop to procure soy milk and fried dough sticks, while the flowers below are in full bloom. Upon entering my abode, my beloved would be laughing, the children would be frolicking about, and the elderly would be basking in the sun on the balcony.
Alas, there is inevitably a gap between reality and ideals. Life does not always proceed as planned, but it is not as dire as we may think. There are people who demonstrate through their actions that the world is not solely focused on competition, but also on kindness and sincerity; relationships are not merely based on weighing pros and cons, but also on purity and grace.
Some individuals dance during rainy days, some sing during adversities, and some fall yet still gaze upwards at the starry sky. So why should we, who are working diligently, ever give up?
Someone inquired as to what kind of person I aspire to be. After careful contemplation, I realized that I desire to be a warm-hearted individual above all else.
The capability to make others feel warmth is a defining trait. The most captivating aspect of a person is not their captivating appearance, but rather the ingrained qualities of sincerity and kindness from within. When benevolence meets tenderness, it creates a perfect harmony in the world.
There will always be unexpected twists and turns in life. However, those gentle compliments, inadvertent misses, and unanticipated kindnesses can all become a warm current in my heart when I reminisce upon them in the future, and help me resist the confusion of growing up.
Therefore, let us first strive to become warm individuals. The greatest joy in life is the ability to transform it into what we desire through our own efforts. When we possess the strength to embrace ourselves, we also possess the ability to warm others.
We must work diligently, but there is no need to rush. Blooming flowers and fruitful fruits require a process.
Begin by following the light within your heart, and engage in specific and pleasurable activities. Accomplish small daily goals, reward yourself with a delectable meal, purchase a book that you have been longing to read, and gradually accumulate progress.
The future is exceedingly vast. May you select your small wishes from the complex moments. As long as you possess courage and unwavering determination, you can overcome any obstacles that may arise.
Perform altruistic deeds without expecting anything in return. Love and be loved, poetry and distance, shall all come in due time.
