If you respect someone, and feel exactly the same, and like the
same people, and do the same things, you would be nothing more than
a puppet. Everyone has a different experience of life, and the
things they have learned are also different. Learning is necessary
in order to look at something from different angles, but even then,
people feel and think according to the wisdom they have gained in
their lives.
What is beautiful is beautiful, what is splendid is splendid, what
I like is what I like. I have come to this point just by that. I've
lived my life for no more than about eight years though. No matter
what others say, I cannot throw away the feeling that I am happy.
This is because no matter how humbly I listen to what others say,
it is not for others to decide how I feel.
