Aizo ichinyo

There is a word "Aizo ichinyo" in Buddhism.

If your love is getting stronger and stronger, your hatred and anger will grow stronger as well when you are betrayed.

Ones mind is easy to be changed.

In the wedding ceremony, lovers pledge unswerving devotion "till death do us part." Whether death comes early or late, for any who love the one who departs, it is always too soon.

In this world where everything perishes, imperishable happiness is above all else our common desire, and its attainment is our true meaning of life.

The imperishable happiness is taught in Buddhism.
