[James: Origins and Today] Chapter 28 - Sadness, Joy, Separation, and Unity (04/25/2023)

This issue is a big topic, and it is very different from everyone's outlook on life, but we should all realize that we will only walk alone in the end of our lives, and the separation and reintegration in the middle are all learning processes.

From kindergarten to elementary school to junior high school to high school to university, many of our good friends have been separated and have lost contact. We had such a good relationship at the time and could not be together because of the relationship between time and space. Therefore, on the journey of life, meeting is accidental and separation is inevitable.

Although I take every relationship very seriously, I am mentally ready to separate. It is because I am too serious, so I must be prepared to separate. Otherwise, when the time comes, we may not be able to be together or get along with each other in the end (whether it is parents, brothers, sisters, lovers, spouses, friends). It’s the same with friends and classmates, and it’s the same with any relationship), it’s easy to get sad, so try to live every day well, make the best preparations, and plan for the worst. This is how I define myself as a ruthless person. It’s not that I am really ruthless, but because I am too ruthless (when my love becomes deep, it becomes thin), so I train myself to be ruthless.

A person's life is about learning sadness, joy, separation, and union. With this understanding, half of life's lessons are completed, and our life is free of burdens.
