CommemorativeThere are three unbreakable laws in life. Understanding any one of them will benefit you for a lifetime. First, your temper should not exceed your abilities. When children throw tantrums, it's cute, but when adults lose their temper over trivial matters, it only makes them look ridiculous. All human suffering is essentially a manifestation of anger at one's own incompetence. In life, the less capable a person is, the more likely they are to succumb to their temper. Those with deeper wisdom and greater abilities remain calm and composed, handling challenges with ease. Always remember: if you lack the ability to clean up the mess, don’t indulge your volatile emotions. Second, wealth should not exceed virtue. When virtue exceeds gain, gain will follow; when gain exceeds virtue, loss is inevitable. Every penny you earn is balanced by your virtue, effort, and sweat. When your wealth and status surpass your moral character and abilities, you’ll find yourself in a state of anxiety. It’s like a bowl—if it’s too shallow, it can’t hold the influx of wealth or blessings, and you’ll be consumed by money. For the way of heaven is to reduce excess and supplement the deficient, but the way of man is not so—it takes from the deficient to give to the abundant. Third, desire should not exceed ability. A so-called glorious life is often just a prisoner of desire. When what you pursue outpaces your abilities, it will eventually slip away in another form. What you ultimately possess will always align with your abilities or virtues. Many people feel unhappy simply because their desires exceed their capabilities. Take what you should, let go of what you should, claim what you should, and release what you should. Rather than envying others’ lavish feasts, cherish your own simple meals. Finally, I hope everyone can focus on today’s efforts without worrying about tomorrow’s rewards—they will come in due time.
