Why do people have great enlightenment in desperate situations? Because they let go of all illusions and expectations of everyone. Pain is the only way to enlightenment; sadness, betrayal, deception, and hardships will repeatedly crush your inner fragility, leaving you utterly hopeless and heart like ashes. At this moment, if you persist and endure, the original fragility and helplessness will completely vanish, and you will become very rational, willfully choosing to abandon the past, no longer trapped by others, no longer obsessed with the outcome. This moment is great enlightenment.
