Chapter 1 Section 14 Face Problems

Rilke

I learn to make sense of everything I see, and I continue to do this from the moment I open my eyes in the morning.

Although sometimes my heart is still not calm, but I always study tirelessly.

How many different faces are there in the world?

This is a question I still don't want to know.There are billions of people in the world, and there must be more faces than people, because everyone has several different faces.

However, there are people in the world who wear the same face at all times, and of course the face can be damaged, dirty, and even cracked from the wrinkles, just like the duffel bag you take when you travel, it always happens If there is not enough, this kind of person belongs to the thrifty and simple person.

However, there are also people who don't agree with this practice, and change their faces again and again horribly, but when he is less than 40 years old or already 40 years old, the face on their head has become their last one Face, there is no alternative face anymore.

Of course, this is also a tragedy.

But these people are not used to paying attention to their face, even the last face was damaged in less than 1 week, pitted and paper thin everywhere.In the end, the skin without makeup becomes a face that cannot be called a face.With such a face, they can't go anywhere, they can only pace back and forth at home every day.

【Together with you】

Some people say that Chinese people have at least seven different faces.Some of these faces are flattering, some are false, some are scary, some are righteous, and so on.The faces we see every day may not be real.At least, it will be varied.To survive in such a world, we will experience complicated interpersonal relationships.And what follows is that we must learn to deal with the various changing psychology hidden behind all kinds of faces.A real hero does not lie in his dedication to the world and society, but in whether he has the courage to face himself.
