Such a life is really unexpected. This kind of life is really beautiful. It's really a breeze at night
Such a beautiful life! It's really a breeze at night.
A touching cool evening breeze gives you the courage to love yourself
It is impossible to completely ignore the opinions of outsiders, but there is no need to be reduced to living for others. Eddie, who is nearly 70 years old, said: "I have decided not to care what others think. I have been cautious all my life and have lived in the eyes of others for too long. Now I don't want to live like that anymore." Yes, how many people are living in pain and suffering under the eyes of others now? Afraid of other people's words, living under the beautiful lies that they try their best to maintain or create; or how many people will make up nonsense about other people's things and make them a topic to kill their boring time after dinner? Do you think this is what life should be like? Is this how you want to live your life? The author uses unpretentious but touching words to push those complex and seldom-mentioned moral issues into an unspeakable mystery, using simplicity to convey depth. You may feel that you are in the neighborhood scene with "only the cool night breeze" he described, and feel the cool night breeze he talks about; you may listen to them talk about the past and reminisce about the past together, with some sadness, remorse, or some regrets lingering in your mind... But their words: "No matter what, it was a long time ago, many years ago. People will always let it go." Enough to let you go. "It seems like he's doing well this year," Louis said. "I'm happy about it. He's had some bad years, and everyone has bad years." "But not this year," Eddie said. "Yeah, not this year." Even if you don't live in front of others, you will still have painful changes because of someone you want to protect. Life is simple yet complicated. "But we kept going, didn't we?" She said. "We kept talking to each other until we couldn't talk anymore, until we couldn't go on anymore." ... "Honey, is it cold there tonight?" Wanfeng Rusu solves the problems that I have experienced in the past. There is frustration, loyalty, and courage in this book. A touching "cool evening breeze". Likewise, I hope that after reading this article, you will have the courage to love yourself.
How should I put it? This book needs to be read calmly and slowly. Although it is not attractive, it is interesting.
