I really want an old man like that to chat with me

"You are looking for the understanding of others, but you will find that they can't untie your heart knot at all. We can't give up the pain, we can only bear the pain, this is the essence of life."

"I am 86 years old this year, and my family has died. My parents have died a long time ago, my brothers and sisters have died, and my wife has left me, but I am still here. I can still smile. The world is still very exciting."

This tough gentleman said everything with a life-and-death demeanor.

The words leaving the ward were even more shocking.

"Besides, you sleep a lot. You won't be tossing over and over, there are no wrinkles on your face, like a child."

"That's a good thing, right."

"If you blame the heavens and the others, the problem won't come to you. But peace is not a good thing for mature-minded people."

Optimism is not necessarily better than pessimism, and peace is not necessarily correct than resentment.

The peace on the outside suppresses the turbulence on the inside.

When pain and despair reach peace, it is sometimes a sign of loss.

He said while pushing a wheelchair to chat

"Sometimes the world changes and no one helps you, you feel lonely. Maybe that's why you walk around and take pictures everywhere."

This is calmness, understanding, and gentleness.

Through the lens, it is easy to forget those things in front of you.

"Is it to forget the facts, or to forget the failures."

At last

"I know it's hard to tell. I want to tell you that you are not as strong as you appear to be. You can't bear these pains forever. You should return to the person who loves you."

I feel that it should be Schopenhauer's words-

To measure whether a person is happy, one should not look at how many happy things he has, but whether he is worrying about small things. Only happy people will take care of the trivial things. Those who have experienced catastrophes have no time to take care of these little things. Therefore, after losing happiness, people will discover that they once existed.

Perhaps it was just at a certain moment, holding back a tremor in my heart.
