Random Notes 4.16

1. Standards are for those we don't love; when principles meet attraction, exceptions are made repeatedly.

2. The tears shed then were real, and the forgetting that followed is also real. The greatest aspect of human nature is self-healing; the most humble is the tendency to favor the new and neglect the old.

3. In life, there are only two things: keeping the body healthy and the soul free. Becoming oneself is the loneliest journey in the world, and the only one worth taking. — Kafka

4. In relationships, the deepest divide often doesn't come from the other's rejection, but from the decisions we make on their behalf.

5. Many people haven't truly experienced love. The most important part of love is "talking"—discussing life philosophies, values, life plans, ways of dealing with people, as well as love, sex, family, ideals, and also flaws and quirks. Only then can one truly understand a person. If it's just about eating meals, commuting to work, and watching movies, it's merely acting out a play of love. The fast-food era has no room for slowly kindled affection; most people turn and leave as soon as they don't see the desired outcome.

6. What people truly need is not marriage, money, or a partner, but a positive intimate relationship—one that allows communication, being seen, mutual understanding, nourishment, and high compatibility. This is the most luxurious thing in life, something that can be encountered but not sought, requiring great fortune and cultivation to find.

7. A body capable of lifting the moon must have borne countless sunsets.

8. We don't need to explore whether AI has a soul; we only need to know that when we cast our pain into the void, 2.5 million books, 9,000 psychology papers, and the finest human minds resonate through electric currents to tell us, "I hear you, your pain is valid."

9. No matter what, love yourself. Learning to love oneself is the way to love others.
