Summary

This quote highlights how the perception of time varies depending on our emotions and experiences. For those who wait or fear, time moves slowly, exacerbating their impatience or anxiety. Conversely, for those who grieve or rejoice, time seems either elongated or fleeting, amplifying their sorrow or joy. However, for those who deeply love, time transcends its usual limitations. Love creates a sense of eternity, where moments are cherished and endure. In the midst of time's transitory nature, love remains steadfast: while hours pass, flowers wither, and days change, love perseveres.

Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinion for or against. The struggle of what one likes and what one dislikes is the disease of the mind.

A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture.
