Goethe said: "Whoever feels it is necessary to alienate the so-called inferior people to maintain dignity, then he is as shameful as a coward who avoids enemies because he is afraid of failure." Wealth can make people have a broad vision, but poverty can make people profound; rich people have seen many things, but poverty makes it possible to think about more things. If we use our minds, poverty can be equal to wealth. Sometimes we are really jealous. Every foreigner, no matter what kind of business he is in, knows how to handle various notarizations, how to use international telephones and fax machines, what bank procedures are like, how far it is from Barcelona to Chicago, what kind of device a vaporizer is, and many satellites and space stations. They know it all! They know everything they want to know while sitting at home, and they can operate PC computers. The cultivation, knowledge and level of civilization of foreigners are shrouded in mystery.
Reader comments
This book mentioned a lot about the reasons why men are depressed, which resonated with me. Thinking of Watanabe in "Norwegian Wood", he is also a melancholy person. Yezi's point of view is very profound and gave me a better understanding of men's psychology. However, I don't like how foreigners are always compared in books. I feel a bit admiring foreigners. Overall, this is a good book and worth reading.
