When dogs meet, they either sniff or lick. When people meet, they either deceive or act. When I was young, I was afraid of ghosts because they were terrifying. When I grew up, I was afraid of people, again because they were well-dressed. When I acted like a bad person, those bad people would come to bully me. When I acted like a bad person, those bad people would come to judge me. The reason the ugly duckling turned into a swan is not because it worked hard, but because its parents were swans. Strange animals are protected, while strange people are ostracized. Once a blind person regains their sight, the first thing they do is throw away their cane, even if that cane helped them for many years. Don't expect others to help you in your time of need; be grateful if no one is throwing dirt in your face. When you fall, there will always be someone reaching out, not to pull you up, but to slap you hard. When it doesn't concern them, everyone is magnanimous; when they are deeply harmed, everyone is selfish. Just as when everyone is drunk, your sobriety becomes the greatest sin. A hospital can't save a poor good person, but it can save a rich bad person. When a good person does something bad, it's called revealing their true nature, while when a bad person does something good, it's called a prodigal returning. The more you fear, the more people will bully you; if you fear nothing, no one will bully you. How long a scammer can deceive you depends on the fool. Soft-hearted people will always be trampled, while hard-hearted people will always be carefree. When the water splashes on you, the saying 'the pure will remain pure' is just a joke. Even the deepest abyss has a bottom, but a person's heart is inscrutable. The human heart is like a mountain; no matter how hard you try, you can't move its prejudices. We often play the judge, condemning others while considering ourselves innocent. The card of beauty combined with any other card is a trump card, leading to a deadlock.
