1. The shackles of life
Author: [England] william somerset maugham
Recommended reason
The hero in Philip's novels experienced his own disillusionment and recalled his inner pain, observed his friends' self-abandonment, poverty or emptiness and hopelessness, and came to the conclusion that "one's life's efforts are not commensurate with the final outcome". It was after the conclusion that life was meaningless that Philip resolutely gave up the pursuit of happiness, because happiness was as insignificant as pain, and their arrival only made the pattern of life more complicated. Happiness, pain, success and failure are nothing more than the words "live up to my heart". Everything else is just a cloud. Knowing these truths earlier, maybe life will be easier.
