True Faces, Real Bonds

The value of sincerity

By Rohitha LankaPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

Water does not measure, does not know depth or shallowness

People who do not get along, do not know good or bad

Time is useful

Can prove people's hearts

And can know people's nature

People who look good may not be good people

But good people will always look good

People's lives, when diligent and attentive to the fullest

Not ashamed of yourself is enough

Even though it may not be perfect

But it is something to be proud of

For a short-term relationship, observe the mood

For a long-term relationship, study the character

For a lifetime, choose to be with people with virtue

And the most certain thing is

Pretendence can never be exchange for sincerity

Sometimes we judge people wrongly

Not because we are blind

But because we may be too good

Sometimes we help the wrong people

Not because we are stupid

But because we give too much importance to attachment

Sometimes it is good to try to fall down

So that we will know who will extend a hand to show sincerity to be with us

People will be happy

If we know how to be satisfied with what we have

But not suffer with what we do not have

Men are like foxes

If you choose right, they will protect you

If you choose wrong, they will hurt you

Women are like snakes

If you choose right, they will cuddle you

If you choose wrong, they will spit poison on you

Friends are like roads

If you choose right, they will lead you to an easy path

If you choose wrong, they will lead you astray

A fake person walks on and on

Then they disappear from your sight

A sincere person walks on and on

Finally, they walk into your heart

    I love the line “People who look good may not be good people, but good people will always look good.” It really made me think, how will we know who to trust?
