All the prosperity and vanity in this world would not make you truly happy. Because most of them are temporary and cannot be converted into eternal happiness.It is like listening to a musical, watching a play, watching the end of a scene, listening to the end of a song. People tend to always try and capture eternity in fragments, but they could never accomplish it. Because the truth is in this world, the world is impermanence, everything feels like an illusion.

Just like the cassette in this particular painting, does it remind you of a familiar melody from the past? People turned into birds and travel through time and space, just to get to the past. Whilst being attracted just by looking at the flowers and the butterflies, it implies that people yearn to find their inner peace. No matter what adversity you have and will encounter, as long as your heart is at peace, you can see through everything, free-spirited and simple, to know how to avoid trouble. A person with this mindset is someone who knows how to enjoy and appreciate life.

世界上种种的繁荣虚华，并不能使你得到真正的快乐。因为大多数只是短暂的刺激感，而并无法转换成永恒的幸福感。

好比听一场演奏，看一场戏，场散、曲终，终有结束的时候。而人们总妄想在片段中抓住永恒，奈何依然做不到。因为世间的真相就是无常，一切皆如幻影。

犹如画中的卡带，是否让你回忆起过去一段熟悉的旋律呢？人化为鸟穿越时空，回到过去，看着花朵的同时，蝴蝶被吸引而来，寓意着人终究向往找回自己内心的平静。无论遇到任何逆境，只要你内心足够平静，就能看透一切，洒脱而自在，远离烦恼。这样的心境，就是懂得享受生命的人。
