Features: No constraints, no disappointment, no harm, no burden, no pain and exhaustion in interpersonal relationships—just let people interact naturally. This way, happiness can be easily attained. I haven’t been a "good person" for a long time, and the reason is simple: I’ve grown tired of the fatigue and pain of being a doormat. Moreover, once labeled a "bad person," the stigma sticks for life. If a "good person" falls short of perfection, they are automatically transformed into a "bad person" and are scorned everywhere. It’s better to be an authentic self. Life is like this—If you can’t please everyone, at least please yourself. Even if the whole world is unhappy, there will still be one person happy! I hope all readers, after finishing this book, will take off their masks and practice being sincere with themselves 80 times. For me, the author who has been racking my brain over the question of "not being a good person," the moment I think of this sentence, I laugh before God even does. Yes, my perfectionism, my fear of rejecting others, my belief that meeting others' standards can solve everything—these long-held thoughts make me laugh. But the more I tried to write this book perfectly, the deeper I fell into my original "good person" mindset. So, I took the views from my book as my personal motto, constantly reminding myself, and it seems to be working quite well.
