Bonsai of Thoughts (Translated)

Thoughts in Bonsai: One Hundred Eighty-Two

1. When your call comes
to my phone,
the fragrance of your hair drifts through.

2. God loves everyone.
This is what they say too,
the non-believers...
not to please God, but to keep believers happy.

3. Why I knocked on that door,
what I went there seeking,
...today I remember none of it.

4. Such mornings come in life,
mornings that forget to bring light along.

5. If I could know
the world would end tomorrow,
then the way I would hold you close,
may I hold you that way always.

6. Do you know why I fall asleep before you?
So I can wake up and see your sleeping face!

7. Just because I love you,
will you sit before me all the time
digging around your nostrils
like that, searching for hidden treasure?

8. Looking at you, I don't want to think of you as a deceiver.
Can't we become like we were before?

9. When you come near, I become simple.
When you stay beside me, even sorrow feels familiar.

10. The person who belittles their partner in front of others—
what could be harder than staying with them!

11. People don't remember the officer,
people remember the human being.

12. No objection to dying,
but living after being beaten is much harder.

13. The married bachelor...
a free person
bound in chains of subjugation.

14. If you want to be immortal,
learn to be fearless.
If you want to stay alive,
learn to be afraid.

15. Yes, I can give you time.
But why should I?

16. In each life,
a different thing is precious.

17. The one who throws money around
is as much a spendthrift
as he is rich.

18. Keep all your ideals
tucked in your pocket,
unless someone approaches you
wanting to know about them.

19. Without understanding your boss's mindset,
never speak lofty words in front of your boss.
Most bosses are wise "by virtue of position."

20. Never ask for explanations about something
that isn't costing you money.
People get annoyed.
