After reading it, my head is going to crack.
Kindness and good deeds are as dangerous as walking on a tightrope. If you walk along the tightrope, you can fall into hypocrisy with a single thought, and can you come back later? If you feel that you are not stepping on the air, then the subconscious must not betray you? Can the hypocrisy in the subconscious be eliminated?
His mother was as beautiful as an angel, and gave birth to him with an extremely deformed appearance. Beauty and ugliness are inherently interdependent, but they affect people's life by accident. Kundera wrote, "That was the best time. At that time, there was no beauty. The difference from ugly..."
His level of unhappiness is on the same level as Roman Polanski - the greatest misfortune imaginable that can happen to a human being, yet he is so pure and kind, humble and courteous, intelligent and eager to learn, and doesn't blame others, these qualities are in a terrible appearance. Breathe down
Looking at his face won't give you nightmares, but seeing those "normal people" who are inferior to beasts will make people have nightmares. They hurt him in the most vicious way, and they have a clean conscience. For the first time, I have a crazy urge to kill.
He was chased and beaten by a group of well-dressed "normal people" like rats crossing the street, shouting "I'm not an animal! I'm a human being! I'm a man..." angrily and desperately, making me sweat profusely , what does it mean to be human? I am human, what does it mean?
The two most evil people, the scum who took his misfortune to make money or made fun, and abused him physically and mentally, the most disturbing thing is that their conscience has not been completely wiped out, they still have human shadows, they are still human, That's scary because I'm human too. If they really don't realize that their actions are evil, and if they really can't understand why someone is willing to treat this "elephant man" kindly, how is morality defined? "If someone else's world is real, is mine still real?"
All I know is that you must never do something like that, not for any moral reason, just that it's definitely not right. What should I ask to bless me? I really hope that my soul is always pure, innocent, and always kind, otherwise it would be better to live than to die
When I saw those people doing evil I thought: they will be punished. But will it really be so? Why do I acquiesce that the ethereal "heaven" will punish them, not morality or law? Because I also know that no one will punish them, and even if there is, the degree of punishment will far outweigh their sins. "They'll be damned" is more of a self-comfort when the truth is that they're probably better off than anyone else, and it's often the kinder people who are more vulnerable to hellfire
He covered his ugly head with a weird cloth, leaving only one eye hole, and walked through the "normal people" in fear. People have a much higher tolerance for ugly souls than ugly appearances. Everyone screamed and ran away when they saw his face, but they were at peace with each other with the ugliness of their hearts.
When he finished building the paper church, wrote his name John, and finally lay down and slept like the child in the picture, the huge head crushed his neck, the galaxy of the infinite universe slowly flowed towards him, and he saw his mother's face again , she said softly and calmly: nothing will die. It's such a relief to me that nothing fades away, may his soul never fade, may the goodness and happiness he's been through stay with him until the universe is destroyed
