枯荣有数
[kū róng yŏu shù]
‘枯荣有数’ literally means that prosperity and decline both have a limit. It originates from Buddhist philosophy or traditional thinking that emphasizes the cycle of life, implying nothing lasts forever. The user acknowledges impermanence, whether it be fortune, relationships, fame or wealth. They recognize there’s time and tide to all situations, hence adopting an open attitude towards changes or cycles of rise and fall. This could mean being humble in success and strong in facing setbacks.
