The Rubaiyat
In this impermanent life, are you fully embracing and enjoying the fleeting moment of today?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I happened upon this collection of poems left by a Persian astronomer and mathematician, I was enchanted by his cool yet beautiful insight into the finitude of life. With the same cold reason he used to calculate the orbits of the stars, he came to understand that a human life is, in the end, like a passing breeze. His voice—telling me not to ruin today with regret over yesterday or anxiety about tomorrow, but to dwell instead on the cup of wine before me and the smile of someone I love—leaps across centuries to knock at my heart. Savoring these verses, I come to realize what a dazzling gift this single day truly is.

"피어나지 않은 내일을 걱정하지 말고, 이미 지나간 어제를 슬퍼하지 마라."
