The most beautiful face and the most primitive philosophical proposition

Desire pushes you toward good or evil, which may be an unsolved question.

What if you had the power to satisfy all your desires,

if, like Dorian Gray, no matter how much you indulge yourself,

only a picture that had nothing to do with you was harmed

?

You crave money and power,

what do you do when you have unlimited money and unlimited power

?

You have beautiful ideals now,

whether it is to achieve communism or enter the heaven of God,

but if your ideal can be realized immediately,

what will you do next?

If you have what you want, what you want,

can you tame your desires?

Can you still live normally?

Can your portrait maintain a clean and handsome face?

...

I was discussing with my friends that men get bad when they have money, and

I said it must,

because money is the real portrait of Dorian Gray.
