從冷視熱然後知熱處之奔走無益 從冗入閑然後覺閑中之滋味最長 (後 16)

Only after looking at the time of enthusiasm with a cold heart, do you realize that such enthusiasm was busy and meaningless. Only after out of troublesome and entering the leisure, do you realize that the taste of enjoying serenity is the longest. (Book2 16)

Hot emotions arise only when there is a monotonous and ordinary daily life. But the place it will return to is also a monotonous and ordinary daily life.
