Your heart is not a public toilet
Gradually, you conform to others' expectations, wearing what they deem fashionable and doing what they expect. Everyday life exhausts you as you navigate traffic, wait for the elevator, rush for the bus, and encounter expensive prices at the supermarket. Why burden yourself further by worrying about others' perceptions? Is your heart a public toilet, allowing people to come and go as they please, leaving their mess behind? What does it truly mean to "cherish life"? "Cherish" stands in opposition to "waste". To cherish means to be vigilant against waste. If you feel a strong sense of "waste" in what you're doing—whether it's spending time with friends, attending a party, working, or even being with a lover—when you ask yourself, "Why am I wasting my time here?" it's time to leave. Don't continue to mistreat yourself. Your heart is not a public toilet.
