Bonsai of Thoughts (Translated)

Bonsai of Thoughts: Two Hundred Seven

1. After a certain point,
a person can no longer share anything with anyone
Then it's merely carrying the burden of years.

2. : But the age difference between us is so vast!
: But my love for you is equally vast!

3. If you forgive someone
who doesn't deserve forgiveness,
you'll receive in return something
you don't deserve to have.

4. Humility befits only those
who have much to be proud of.

5. : I've come to you with great hopes. Could you spare some time?
: You've asked for something quite precious, free of charge!

6. For one whose own sorrow is mountain-high,
what does it matter if someone else's grief
can move mountains?

7. One who wants to gain something new
without losing something old—
even God grows weary of such a person.

8. : Tell me, what should I do to feel a little better?
: Learn to live with yourself.

9. When two strangers
remain strangers to each other
even after spending long periods together,
what could be more regrettable?

10. : Why do you always suffer from loneliness?
: Because I'm always waiting for something.

11. : Don't be afraid. I'm here with you.
: That's the sole reason for all my fears.

12. One day
with a wallet full of worthless money
laid out before my eyes,
I'll take my leave.

13. What women think about,
they only keep thinking about.

14. Isn't it better to endure pain alone for a few days
than to suffer every day while being with someone?

15. : Are you happy after leaving me?
: I didn't leave to be happy. I left because staying was painful.

16. To tell the truth,
I lie because you create trouble
when I tell the truth.

17. : Why can't women live without creating unrest?
: Why can't men live without women?

18. I must be in a drunken state.
Otherwise why can't I understand
who in this world is closer than a brother?
Who is more distant than a wife?

19. : Don't you love poetry then?
: Only as long as I'm not hungry.

20. Love is truly strange!
Something that causes such pain—
how can it be so wonderful?
