As we grow older, we learn valuable lessons about life that make us wiser. One important lesson is that if someone hasn’t told you something, it’s best to act as if you don’t know about it and not pester them with questions later. Similarly, if you find out about a party or event that you weren’t invited to.

It’s better to just pretend you didn’t know and not make a big deal about it.

When we’re young, it’s natural to feel disappointed or even upset when we’re left out of things or not told important information. But as we get older, we start to appreciate simplicity and peace more than being involved in every little thing.

We might even prefer it if people didn’t tell us things and we weren’t expected to get involved in their affairs.

For me, there are two types of people I feel responsible for: my parents and who loved me.

And there are two types of people I miss having in my life: true friends who treat each other with sincerity, and loving partners who care about each other deeply.

It’s crucial to stay level-headed as we navigate life. Some people can’t offer us anything positive and only bring negativity into our lives. As we reach middle age, it’s important to let go of obsession and attachment and focus instead on being calm and clear-headed.

We don’t always have to be right, and in the grand scheme of things, we’re just a small part of other people’s lives.

Throughout our lives, we’ll encounter many different people. It’s important to cherish those who are worth it and not waste our time on those who aren’t.

Getting along with others can be simple: just match their level of enthusiasm. If someone is warm and welcoming, respond in kind. But if someone is cold or distant, it’s best to politely step back and give them space.

Ultimately, it’s important not to try too hard to please others or get upset easily. Instead, enjoy your own company and let things unfold naturally with others.
