This world is beautiful, no matter what. Yet tragedies still happen in our lives. They have nothing to do with countries or nations, with social stability, or even with random strangers. They are simply things that happen to us personally, yet they can hurt us enough to leave us unable to eat or sleep, overwhelmed with grief and pity for the world. Some even take pills or jump from buildings to escape this complicated, chaotic world. There are many ways to deal with problems, but those aren’t among them. We have to live, and live life to the fullest, even raising a glass and singing, even falling asleep in a fragrant bedchamber. Anyone can betray you, but this world will not. It is beautiful, and you deserve to enjoy it. When life is going well, enjoy it; when it isn’t, find a way to enjoy it anyway. What’s wrong with poking fun at life, or at yourself, or even taking an Ah Q approach to things? There are many ways to live. Why shed tears alone when you can laugh and talk about life? That’s far more satisfying.
