Think deeper

"Don't judge just based on the superficial information."

At the first glance, it seems simple and platitudinous. But, actually, man is such gullible. How many people are beguiled by scams? How many people are cheated in affections by guys or girls? How many people are betrayed by friends, or even relatives?

"If a person betrays you once, that's his fault. If he keeps betraying you, that's your fault"


Moreover, even for ads and marketing, they are also one kind of tricks. We are exposed to the environment filled with ads, and are hypnotized all the way. How come do people feel "shuang" or "noble" when they are dressed in famous brands clothes, shoes, or coats, or when they are driving some luxurious sedans or sport cars, or when they live in luxurious mansions or villas? How come are people always pursuing fashion, or even extravagantly "High-Technic" electronic products? Undeniably, some of those "luxurious" things do bring us a little bit more comfortable and convenient life. But the ridiculous part is the degree that people are crazy about them, and the cost people have to spend on them, including money, time, energy and even life. Even some might think it is their ultimate goal or dream.


So, what is truth? What is essence? Maybe, there is no answer for this. What we can do is just to choose whatever we believe it is true, whatever it is the essential and meaningful for our life.
"Before trust or judgement, take a reserved attitude and contemplate again."
