Translation of an article that warms my heart

When you look at some people, you always see that they’re happy, having a life that has no worries. They lead a life like a child. Many people are very jealous of them. But actually, it’s not like what you think. They do not want people to see the sad side of them. They don’t even have the ability to be alone because during the silence of the night, they would not know what will happen while they sits by the window, reminiscing all that they’ve been through.

They look tough because from other people’s perspective, they can face everything with a smile. But in actual fact, they have the weakest soul. The long term camouflage that they put on makes it difficult for other people to discover the hurt deep within them.

They just want to live a simple and happy life. They anticipate and believe that the smile every one gives is sincere. They hope that people around them really like them. Even though it’s just a small opinion from others, it will make them sad for a long time. They really care… they really mind that people don’t like them. They always think too much for others. They treat others better than treating themselves. They treat the ability of treating others well as a kind of happiness. They like others more than they like themselves.

They are always like that. They were crying sadly the minute before. But when they appear in front of their friends the next minute, they can show a face with a radiant smile. Some people say that they’re just like sunflowers. Yes! The people that they care about are like the sun. While facing the sun, they always exhibit the best petal they have. They are able to hide their sorrow so well at the side where the sunray can’t get through.

They approach a life that is full of freedom. But, they have to go the opposite direction and work hard for the people they love and care. Although they feel very tired, they still continue on out of a willing heart. Being further away from their dream land, they don’t have the choice but to face the fear, the weary, the competition and the time when they were lost. It is only when they face the people that they trust the most, they are able to remove the cover and shed their tears. Because inside them, smile is happiness, cry is sadness, getting near is like, being away is hatred. But, it’s not like that actually. It’s because they’ve finally understand that their heart is deeply hurt and tears are unbearable. After they cry, they will wipe away their tears and say, “It’s okay, I can do a good job.”

It seems that there is nothing that they cannot do. It seems that there are no worries. It seems that all problems can be solved with just a snap of the finger. They always like to appear in front of people who are crying and just laugh stupidly to make that person smile. However, while facing their own problem, they feel so lost. While facing their own sadness, they just hide at a corner that no one knows and let the wound grow larger.

Their thinking is actually very simple. Everything that they say out is what they think inside their heart as things that are not meant to be said may arouse uncertainties as doubts. Hence, please remember not to hate them. They never thought of hurting anybody. A small little mistake can make them regret for a period of time.

They are actually very naïve and innocent. Even a smile that you give them is enough to make them remember how good you are forever. Hence, their opinion about the world is actually very simple and they are easily influenced. Please, do not hurt their feelings. Because once they are hurt, the hurt cannot be mend forever. If you have people like this around you, please give him or her even the slightest care that you can. Let him or her know that this world has not abandon her…
