 MANDATE

We must not feel disappointed if the people around us change.

Even those who are close to us and we know for a long time
suddenly change. Because it could be that the results of these
changes are their "real faces" and we are too fixated on our
thought projections about them, so we feel disappointed
because they are dif ferent from what we think .
