Life has a gorgeous robe full of lice

Everyone has a robe, and outsiders look so glamorous, but in fact, only oneself knows how many lice are behind that gorgeous. Everyone in the play is working hard, trying to cover up, cover up those unbearables, and make themselves look good by outsiders. Barbara is covering up her failed marriage, Ivy is covering up her abnormal love affair, Karen is covering up the debauchery of her fiance's several marriages, and his father and aunt are covering up the illegitimate child...

It's very enjoyable to watch so many dramas. But I know this is not just a scene, it is a portrayal of our real life. Perhaps now or many years from now, we will also encounter what they have encountered. Life is like this, there is no shortage of joys and sorrows.

As I get older, the nature of life gradually becomes clearer. I will not ask others’ lives or envy who leads well. I know that any kind of life is not easy, everyone There are difficulties for everyone. No matter what kind of situation you are in, it is true to live your life well.

Thinking of the lunch in the play, the mother tore off everyone's gorgeous robes after taking drugs, and the scene where lice jumped wildly, although it was a bit cruel, it was reality. Probably these words can only be said after taking drugs.

I gradually feel that the respect a person shows to other people actually includes a kind of worry and fear of being exposed to one's own unbearable state. Only when he knows his own difficulties, he gradually understands the difficulties of others and wants to be understood by others, so I begin to be considerate of others. . Therefore, the prerequisite for the formation of any proper harmonious relationship is mutual understanding or empathy.

I remember that the night before Ivy left, the three sisters were sitting together. When they accused each other of difficulties and did not tell each other, Ivy told the truth: Actually, we are not so familiar with each other. She said she Will leave and will no longer take care of her mother. Ivy's words were more realistic and cruel than the words of my mother at lunch at the time. It was because of the courage and courage needed to look at the relationship and to say such cold and painful words. Next came the silence of the three sisters, who could deny it.

In fact, the relationship between people is also dressed in a gorgeous robe, which is joyful on the surface, but in fact it is always close. I think of a friend who is much older than me talking about his circle of friends. A dozen people sitting together, not talking about life or work, just get together to drink and have fun. Later, a few friends gradually stopped participating in activities and faded out. Their circles. He said that he also felt boring and tried to quit a few times, but he was too lonely. I think most people can understand these, but few people bravely put aside those meaningless things and relationships.

But in fact, what is the truth is so important? Like Karen said, Doesn't that sound nice? Yes, it sounds good and looks pretty. If you want to really put aside the outer layer to see the authenticity inside, I think most people live It's not nice. Who has not deceived themselves in life? I think everyone just needs to guard their robes.

    Mattie Fae Aiken: What the hell did you just say to me?

    Charlie Aiken: Kids, go outside, would you please? I don't understand this meanness. I look at you and your sister and the way you talk to people and I don't understand it. I can't understand why folks can't be respectful to one another. I don't think there's any excuse for it. My family didn't treat each other that way.
