If we dare to face the lies, we will find that we are only a part of it....

Lies have existed since there was language, or lie in our blood when there is no language. Lying is natural, just like the growth rings of a tree must be circular. In the creation machine of society, we need more and more beautiful lies to cover up our inner helplessness. Children carry lies in their nature, but this is not a bad root, but makes them more vivid and lovely. When max is in a group of giant ugly In front of monsters, if nothing happened, when they made up their own "fairy tales", who would blame a child for the sins committed, even if they were finally seen by everyone, it would be a thing of the past, who cares, at least now you and I know each other. , There are many kinds of human communication, and it is not simply outspoken or the so-called sincerity. It may be safer to dare to face it! What we lack is not words, but understanding, understanding with children and monsters, an understanding that we value even when it is based on lies!
