The Modern Age of the Mysterious

People are so afraid of being judged of themselves, especially children who once longed for approval. In fact, criticism, no matter how much emotion it contains, is a kind of caring, as someone said: the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.

It is difficult to accept criticism calmly. I think I am more open-minded than before, but it is still shocking to see the harsh evaluation, and it is difficult to accept it. Because we seem to unconsciously base our self-esteem on what we do. As far as I am concerned, someone's criticism of the work seems to deny the meaning of my existence and efforts. This makes it harder to bear the blame.

Many people's instinctive reaction to supporters and opponents is to weave a cocoon full of voices praising themselves.

Just like a game anchor I love, who has gained countless attentions and stood on the cusp at a young age, it is conceivable that the praises and criticisms he has received are exponentially huge... How to digest the love that can blow people's minds, and as if What about the storm of criticism that can completely smash the ego?

The world is like a huge ocean, and it is inevitable that we will face our own challenges.

It is impossible to criticize these people who try to create a cocoon of praise. They always yearn for affirmation when they grow up, so they value the affirmation from others so much and fear those criticisms...

Everyone is actually trying to make up for the kid they once were.

True growth, though, is always the most worth striving for. Letting ourselves stay in that cocoon, we will not see the truth, the attention, nutrition contained in criticism, and even the suggestions that can really improve ourselves...

It's natural to want to satisfy our cravings, but we can't stop there just to satisfy our egos.

Take care of the child behind you, step into the storm that doesn't exist, break all cocoons and illusions, until the day we return to dust.

If there was a prayer today, it would be this: I wish I could let go of my desire for praise from others and my fear of blame. Face everything calmly, understand all expressions, and be grateful for all encounters.

Good day, everyone! Don't forget to explore the mysteries of life.
