Wealth, Wit, and Warmth
Hey, it’s him again: men these days have it so hard: wealth, wit, and warmth. In his time, a man only needed hair on his head and a potato in his pants, and the ladies would swarm. Truly, in each historical period, people have their primary problems to solve and major barriers to overcome
In his era, the 1940s, everyone was born different, and creation endowed humans with that sacred, inviolable right. He was a prime example of that difference. His friends all left their unique marks
Take Xuan Dieu: everyone called him the prince of romantic love poetry. But his love life was as tasteless as plain water: the public did not know, but he did. Take Vu Trong Phung: his satirical voice accurately depicted society back then. And Nam Cao, his creator. Or Uncle Nguyen Nhat Anh, an author whose works he read passionately during his school days
Today, it is hard to point to a standout author, hard to keep oneself unique as they are. People now are mixed up, not knowing which thoughts are their own and which belong to the crowd. Individual independence and uniqueness have become more blurred than ever. People seem confused between what is true and what only appears to be true
Wandering social media, he read two lines that he highly appreciated:
- Find someone who loves you more than you love them
- Make a list of things you want in a partner, and… become that person
#1 is the worst advice, while #2 is the best advice
