Features: Someone asked a blind old man, "You can't even see the world, don't you feel painful?" The old man said, "Why should I feel painful? Compared to the deaf, I can hear; compared to the paralyzed, I can walk; compared to the mute, I can speak. So I have always lived happily." Indeed, the world is fair. The joy and pain it gives to everyone are proportional to their efforts. Sometimes what we have, others may not have. Everyone has their own strengths, but also their own shortcomings. Therefore, in many cases, it is more important for others to see us clearly than for us to see others clearly. We don't need to be disheartened by what others have; we should be more joyful about what we possess. However, in the complex and chaotic reality of society, many people often lose themselves. When it comes to the world, people often express deep doubts. They don't know if it is the world that has deceived them or if their own eyes are lying. They constantly ask themselves: "Why do I always walk through storms with this world?" They often complain that their lives are not fulfilling, that things don't go as planned, and that nothing feels right, leading to depression, a sense of meaninglessness in life, anxiety, helplessness, and anger all rushing to their hearts. In fact, wounds and shortcomings are often opportunities to enter a different kind of beauty. Imperfection is part of life, and having flaws is another form of richness and fulfillment in life. Face your flaws, and they may lead you to a new landscape! Because it is not the world that has wronged us, but rather that we have misunderstood the world! As Tagore's poem goes, "We see the world wrongly and blame it for deceiving us." This world does not operate in the equal way you imagine. The reason we misunderstand the world is not because of the world itself, but because our eyes' intuition deceives us, and it is our biases in perception and misconceptions in understanding.
Friend, if life has treated you unfairly, if the world has deceived you, if friends have betrayed you, if setbacks have hurt you, please gather the courage to face life and make friends with good books! Because beautifying life cannot be separated from the elegant fragrance of books. A good book is a great teacher; she will help and enlighten you selflessly.
