Thoughts in Bonsai: One Hundred Ninety-One

1. What could be worse
than having to scold
the one you love?

2. Married people have only one thought:
Why did I get married?
Unmarried people often think:
Oh, how happy they are!

3. It's hard to speak freely with you, you start shouting.
I cannot love you because I cannot tell you the truth.
If you cannot accept someone as they are,
then ask anything of them except love.

4. I am restless. I admit it.
But I was not restless. I was made to go through restlessness.

5. In a world of madness,
the mad are the sane ones.

6. When people expect something from someone, they cleverly say certain things, like:
I love you so much. I respect you so much. I am amazed when I see your work. And so on and so forth.

7. Others' expectations keep us in pain,
our own expectations utterly destroy us.

8. If you want to look at yourself,
look at nature.

9. What the body can bear,
the mind can bear too.

to the skin for life.

11. To heal yourself,
you must tear away much of your existence.

12. The more I miss you,
the more my war with myself intensifies.

13. No, you're not bad as a person.
Actually, as a person, you're very complex.
You don't know me,
yet you refuse to accept this by sheer force.

14. For this one mistake
did you forget everything
I was before?

15. Writers write
not to keep readers well,
but to keep themselves well.

16. When you ask after many days how I am,
I truly cannot understand what you actually want to know.

17. Hiding from fear
doesn't make the fear go away.

18. I remember people less.
I remember only feelings.
This is very useful for keeping myself well.

19. Yes, knowing how to stay alive
is also something to be learned.

20. If you hate me,
don't expect any hatred in return.
I don't have that kind of time.
Expectation-free hatred doesn't affect me at all.
