Sometimes you really can't expect others to understand your grievances; empathy simply does not exist in this world. Taking care of yourself is the greatest kindness you can offer to others.
Not bringing worries to others is a form of compassion; not bringing worries to yourself is a form of wisdom. Forgiving others is being kind to yourself; only by being kind to yourself can you be kind to others.
In living a lifetime, do not expect everyone to understand you. If everyone understood you, how ordinary would you have to be? We must learn to understand others from our own perspective and to let go of our own grievances from our own perspective.
In this world, people's joys and sorrows are not interconnected. What you consider a great grievance may seem overly sentimental to others. Do not advise others to be good without experiencing their suffering; having experienced their suffering does not necessarily mean they will be good.
Everyone grows up in different environments, and the knowledge accumulated through learning and experiences varies greatly. The feelings towards pain and grievances are also completely different. Do not complain that others do not understand your grievances because everyone's definition of grievance is vastly different.
Do not tell everyone about your grievances and troubles; most of the time, your grievances and troubles are just a joke in the eyes of others. You must believe that there are far more people in this world who find amusement in your troubles than those who care about you.
It is inappropriate for adults to share their grievances with anyone. As we grow up, we must learn to slowly digest our sad emotions. All is suffering, and only you can save yourself. True strength comes from quietly reflecting on your heart in the stillness of the night, carefully mending it, and then cautiously putting it back together. Forgive everything before sleep, and wake up with renewed confidence.
Being listened to about your troubles is already something to be grateful for. If there are people willing to guide you to quickly get out of your troubles and away from grievances, that is immense fortune in your life.
Those grievances you cannot let go of will be quietly smoothed over by time. When you look back at the past, you will smile and pass by. It may seem like you have forgiven the past, but in reality, you have released yourself; the future is more worthy of your expectation than the past.
On the road to growing old, treat yourself well. Life is beautiful, and give yourself the most beautiful life.
