The Reality of Society: Human Kindness is Like Paper
When a person is in the midst of success, 'eyes' are often the worst. There are too many flattering people around, and too many opportunists, making it impossible to discern who is sincere and who is fake. It just feels like you're always busy, but it's all superficial.
If one day the gatehouse becomes as empty as a deserted town, you'd understand the fragility of human kindness. During times of prosperity, you can't see clearly; until you're impoverished, you can then discern people's hearts, understand friends, and grasp your destiny.
This world is sometimes colder than you imagine, unlike what's written in books or portrayed on television. Human kindness isn't prevalent everywhere in the real world; it often delivers a fatal blow at a crucial moment. Human kindness is like paper, thin and easily torn. When you're poor, you can see through it.
Piping had once been the best student in the class and was also the class leader in those years. Back then, people would come to her for help, and no matter how slightly unhappy she felt, there would be a large group of comments and invitations to eat and drink.
A few years later, Piping's company went bankrupt due to investment failures, losing tens of millions and owing others several million.
During that period, her phone was the quietest it had ever been; no one called her, and when she called her supposed 'good friends,' they were either busy or didn't answer. Human kindness is like paper, painfully evident at this moment.
Experiencing such a thing didn't defeat Piping; she knew that the more she succumbed to despair and self-pity, the more people would come to gawk. She was grateful that at the critical moment, a couple of friends offered a helping hand.
In the following years, Piping lived a hard life, but eventually returned to her peak. There were only two numbers in her phone.
When you're poor, you see clearly, and you must work harder!
From wealth to poverty, even to debt, it truly tests a person's mental fortitude; a slight misstep can lead to self-abandonment, believing there's no chance of recovery.
Former friends now seem like strangers; business partners have distanced themselves with various excuses. The contrast between the past and present self is stark.
When you're poor, you can truly see things, people, and situations. Your self-pity goes unnoticed, and onlookers are many, while those who want to see you fail are not few. Human kindness is like paper, easily torn.
It's important to keep working hard no matter what. One day, you can stand tall and prove that I can.
The truth can be ugly. When you see its true face, you don't want to believe it's real. Until you pinch yourself and feel the pain, you realize it's real. Want to avoid it? You can't escape it.
This world may not be as beautiful as we imagine, but it won't be terrible. Your life depends on what you see and what you feel; your heart will naturally perceive what it wants. There's no need to complain about anyone or anything, because it won't shift with your will.
Human kindness is like paper, thin and easily torn. When you're poor, you can see through it. The scariest thing is not seeing through it, because being blinded by it leads to delusion and obsession, which is a terrifying state. Once you see through it, at least you have a clear understanding of your mental state. The future path is clear.
It's easier to decline than to rally. Don't give up until you reach the end, because as the saying goes: 'Everything is possible.'

Sometimes, experience teaches you to be open-minded. Human kindness is like paper, easily torn. Perhaps this phrase was only seen in books before, but now you have the opportunity to taste it yourself.
It's a good thing, although many people haven't the mood to savor its flavor, instead immersing themselves in their sadness.
