The first saying of Confucius' Lun Yu (aka The Analects) reads:
To learn and to practise what is learned time and again is pleasure, is it not? To have friends come from afar is happiness, is it not? To be unperturbed when not appreciated by others is gentlemanly, is it not?
Write a story about a person who has had an appreciative friend come from afar but who is unable to enjoy the friend's arrival due to a loss of pleasure in continuing to practise what s/he has learned in life.
