There were sixpences all over the ground, but he looked up and saw the moon.
If you think about self-esteem when it comes to love, there can only be one reason: In fact, you still love yourself the most.
The moon and sixpence or art and money
The author's writing style is very clever and he found a new way. When I read the end of the novel, I had doubts. I checked online and found out about this person. This story turned out to be fictional, but fortunately there is a prototype of the story. To be honest, when I first started reading this book, I found it very boring, so I threw it aside. After a few days, I picked it up again, calmed down and read it, and then I discovered its charm. There are many views on life in it that modern people disagree with, but they are eager to try it. The absurd and cruel storyline makes people unable to understand or figure it out, and they don't know what the author wants to express! Perhaps it is an extreme exaggeration of the choice between art and money in life. So that it seems incredible, unacceptable, and incomprehensible. Maybe when I reach the age of 40 and re-read it again, I will have a deeper understanding!
My husband said this in front of my mother-in-law. I was so embarrassed~ What should I do? ?
I stayed at home in the fifth month of my pregnancy. I had nothing to do during the pregnancy, so I started reading novels. After that, my complexion became worse, and the spots that were originally small spread. Although Dabao is almost 2 years old now, I still shed tears when I think of what my husband said to me at that time. What he said at the time was, why did I become so ugly just because I was pregnant? He didn't think about my feelings when he said this. A lot has changed in three months. Many friends also saw my changes and came to ask me how I did it. I said it was actually nothing. This prestige industrial number (ccgw689) is so awesome. Come and take a look!

A genius who is obsessed with art and doesn't understand the world. He's mean and annoying
Strickland is definitely a god-like being who is willing to give up everything for the sake of art. What kind of person can reach such a high state? Before reading this book, I thought that human nature is either for oneself (selfish) or for others (selfless). Strickland is the kind of person who gives up himself and abandons others. Such a person is great.
Everyone has a heart that yearns for dreams But struggling to crawl in reality
Everyone has their own reasons and values for living. I hope I can live for my ideals and my family.
Generally speaking, love is just an episode for men, one of many things in daily life. However, novels exaggerate love and give it an important status that violates the reality of life. Although there are a few men who regard love as the top priority in the world, these people are often dull people; even women who are infinitely interested in love do not think highly of such men. Women will be attracted to such men and will be delighted by their flattery, but they will inevitably have an uneasy feeling in their hearts - these people are pitiful creatures. Even during the brief periods of love, men are constantly distracted by other things: the things they need to make a living attract their attention; they indulge in sports; they may also be interested in the arts. . . As a person who falls in love, the difference between men and women is that women can fall in love all day and all night, while men can only do this kind of thing sometimes and for a while.
