An entire sea of water cannot sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship.
Similarly, the negativity of the world cannot put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.
Your future is the interest on what you deposited in the past and present.
What it is, what it was, what it shall be…
View everything as temporary,
knowing both good and bad will end.
Venerable Wuling
Everyone knows someone who struggles just to “exist“.
Everyone’s struggle is different and “real” for them.
Appreciate. Be understanding.
