Features: In this book, the author writes about the stories of ten individuals, their life trajectories, and the characteristics that prompted changes in their paths. Everything is interconnected, with cause and effect linking each other. The author and the prototypes of the stories did not have extensive friendships. Life has taught us to love with indifference yet fragrance. This distance allows the author to depict them calmly and create anew. The dialogues between the author and these individuals are also dialogues they have with themselves. We are grateful for the trust and inspiration they have given the author. In these special dialogues, we may stand face to face and weep or gaze deeply into each other's eyes, often unable to find words. Yet, when we bid farewell, we return to our original calm and indifference. We have grown to no longer seek sympathy from others. We simply listen to each other, and in the process, we quietly realize some truths we had not been aware of before. Afterward, we occasionally meet but rarely mention the dialogues we once had. It was a sincere and heartfelt experience.
