1. Although lies are easy to hear, the truth is hard to come by

A family gave birth to a little boy, and the whole family was very happy. When he was one year old, the neighbors, relatives and friends All my friends came to congratulate me. Some people say that if the child has beautiful features and beautiful eyes, he will be an official in the future and will honor his ancestors; some people say that if the child has bright eyes, he will be smart and capable and will make a fortune in the future; the host laughs heartily.

Only one person said that the child looks very good and energetic, but he is born in an ordinary family and must be well nurtured. Don't let him waste his years and go back to the old path of adults. He can only live an ordinary life. Food and clothing. As soon as he said this, he was not only ridiculed, but also coaxed and beaten out by his master.

In ordinary families, without education, children must be just like adults, just for food and clothing. This truth makes people unhappy; for children to become officials and make a fortune is obviously just a lie to compliment, but it makes people unhappy. Feel comfortable. But people would rather listen to flattering lies than to listen to the straightforward truth. This is the weakness of human nature.

The reason for this is that lies are pleasant to the ears and make people feel comfortable hearing them. Lies are pleasant to the ears and will not offend others if they are told.

The truth is always too straightforward, making people feel like a thorn, directly touching the weakness of people's hearts, exposing shortcomings and shortcomings in public, making people lose face. There is such a fable that a long time ago, lies and truth bathed by the river. The lies were washed first and left wearing the clothes of truth, but after the truth was washed, they refused to wear the clothes of lies. Later, in people's eyes, there were only lies dressed in real clothes, but it was difficult to accept the naked truth.

Human nature is like this, we all yearn for beauty, and we are only willing to listen to beautiful and moving words. Telling the truth often exposes other people's weaknesses and shortcomings, and can easily offend others, so there are fewer and fewer friends who tell the truth, and their ears are full of beautiful lies. As everyone knows, only telling the truth can help you grow from your shortcomings.

Muzi and Yingzi got along well and became close friends, so they entered Yingzi's company. Based on the relationship between friends and critics, every time the company held a meeting, other employees would flatter Yingzi. Only Muzi talked about work matters and bluntly pointed out Yingzi's shortcomings. Muzi really couldn't express those disgusting compliments.

Slowly, Muzi discovered that Yingzi's attitude towards him had changed a lot. At the same time, he found that it was difficult for sincere people to stay in the company. On the contrary, those who stayed were all snobs. Feeling that he couldn't fit into such a hypocritical atmosphere, Muzi left there on his own. Not long after Muzi left, he heard the news there that Yingzi's ending was not very good. He was recognized as a villain by the company and was tricked by his subordinates who he thought were capable.

It was Yingzi who was careless and he reaped the consequences. Aren’t those villains all Yingzi liked himself?

The truth sometimes does not sound good, is unpleasant to the ear, and can hurt others, so most people don’t like to hear the truth. Especially when one's shortcomings are pointed out in public, it makes people psychologically unhappy, embarrassing, unacceptable, and even makes them hate the person who tells the truth.

This is not only a warning saying, but also a reality of life. Without the bitter medicine to cure the illness, the body will not be healthy; without the straightforward truth to remind the shortcomings, people will not make progress, let alone the glory of success. Beautiful lies can confuse people and make them sleepy and confused; only straightforward truths and enlightenment can wake people up and make them forge ahead.
