A wise person has no desire. With desire comes disappointment. If we indulge ourselves in disappointment, we will lose hope in the end. As such, we should not have any expectations in the first place. Expectation will only lead to more disappointment.
有智慧的人就没有欲望， 有欲望就会有失望。如果一个人整天活在失望中，他就会绝望，所以我连盼望都不要，因为有了盼望就会有更多的失望。
