The truth is not important, what you say is important

My mother is a sensitive and inferiority person. She always feels bad about herself and always envy others.

I am fancy clothes and always ask our opinions. In fact, our aesthetic difference is so great, what the elders like, the young people don’t; what the young people like, the elders don’t.

I bought the clothes, put them on and walked in front of us, and asked us: "How?" I thought, I said it was not good-looking, every time she put on clothes, she would think of my evaluation, and then dislike herself while wearing them. And if I say it looks good, her uncertain heart can gain more or less affirmation and encouragement. Under the balance of the two, I always praise good-looking, pick one point to elaborate, let her truly believe me.

We always like to ask the most trusted people around us for their opinions. Most of the time, are we really asking the truth? Or seek a kind of support?

With the personality of Paotiao Tianhou who loves music so much, and fights illnesses by her love of music, do you really want to hear her favorite and most dependent partner tell her the truth? What about the audience ridicule, I just want to know that the most important thing is that you will always support me and will always be in the same boat with me.

Just think about it. When a girlfriend asks her boyfriend, "My mother and I fell into the water, who do you save first", does she really want to know the boy's actual thoughts? I just want to know the importance in the hearts of boys.

When I asked "Am I getting fat recently", I didn't really want to know the truth, I just wanted to know-no matter how fat I am, you can love me as always.

When I asked "I'm good-looking or that girl is good-looking", I just want to know that you really like my type of girl.

The truth is not important. What is important is what you think I care most about. As long as it is what you say, I am willing to believe it wholeheartedly. (Um, in fact, what you are willing to listen to is only to lie for the sake of coaxing people. When you really lie, the sixth sense will not let you go.)

So what about the audience laughing? I have the love that I am willing to stick to for my whole life, and I have you behind me, this is great happiness, enough.

Florence Foster Jenkins quotes

  • St Clair Bayfield: Are you fond of sandwiches?

    Cosmé McMoon: Yes.

    St Clair Bayfield: Good, good. Madam Florence is inordinately fond of sandwiches. And potato salad as well. When we throw parties we make mountains of the stuff. It would serve you well to consume both with enthusiasm.

    Cosmé McMoon: I shall.

  • St Clair Bayfield: If you can forgive Madam Florence her little eccentricities, you'll find her to be a most generous and delightful person. Ours is a very happy world.
