折妄成空
[zhé wàng chéng kōng]
'Foolishness Turns Into Nothingness'. The term signifies the process where unrealistic ideals and fantasies eventually end up as void. When you break (折, zhé) delusional thoughts (妄 wàng) apart, they turn into emptiness(空, kōng). Often connotes a feeling of disillusionment in various aspects of reality, perhaps in relationship or career choice
