Life is like a book. The cover is given by your parents. Whether the content is exciting or not depends on how you write it. No one will write it for you. This book has no boundaries between good and bad. If it is useful to others, it is good and it is a good book. On the contrary, if it is not useful, it is bad. I don’t even bother to look at the cover. On a secular level, usefulness is everything.

When you are worthless, all the kindness is worthless, and the good things you once had become worthless. No matter how I look at you, I won’t like you, no matter what you do, it will be wrong, and it may even humiliate or attack you. This is the ugly side of human nature. Communication between people is essentially a value exchange.

The so-called kindness to you is based on the value of use. Don’t expect someone to be unconditionally loyal to you unless you always have the value he wants to obtain.

When people are in the trough, they always hope that someone can help them, but things are unpredictable, and no matter how deep the friendship is, it can’t compete with the warmth and warmth of human feelings. Once others feel that you are worthless, you will be rejected.

Don’t expect anyone to help when it’s time, thank God as long as it doesn’t make things worse. Many times, it’s not that society is too bad, but that you are too weak, and it’s easy to bully you.

Anyone can step on you, and anyone can boss you around, without paying any price. This world has always been like this: if you laugh, the whole world will laugh with you; if you cry, you will heal alone.
