Features: Man seeks his own stench; he transforms himself through self-understanding. He is a process-maker, a transformer of life's ways. However, regardless of the transformations in life, there is a fundamental constancy in existence. Life is philosophy, and philosophy is the inner call of the soul to itself. The very existence of life is indeed an adventure. A true person is one who has the ability to transcend everything and view everything as a process. All suffering leads to life, and true happiness is life itself. A person who loves is one who exhausts their capacity to run towards virtue, opening a window of wisdom to see themselves and better understand others. There is only one truth, but people must express it anew according to the times they live in, otherwise, truth in this era becomes a hollow existence. Similarly, if we take the truths expressed by past generations as current truths and discuss them without seeking to re-express them, we cannot understand that it is people who promote the Way, not the Way that promotes people. Because once truth is expressed, it becomes dead; conversely, it is only through the living existence of people that truth can be resurrected. And a person who can resurrect truth from the dead is, in fact, one who, in accordance with the ways of their time, undergoes all real and tangible processes of existence and re-discovers truth. Philosophy is enduring, but philosophy is dry. In this book, philosophy intimately merges with us, becoming a part of daily life, like a melody, like a beautiful piece of prose. It transforms dry philosophy into enduring wisdom, conveying the sagacity of the philosophers and bringing warmth to philosophical reflection.
