A silver coin and a cup of salted coffee were brought out, the woman in the pink dress exclaimed: I've been to many places, but nowhere makes salted coffee as good as this. Then she told her friend: Have you seen Q for a long time, she's very different on Facebook these days, she's wearing heavy makeup every day, wearing fancy clothes, not knowing who she's flirting with, unlike before when she just broke up with K, she was always complaining and feeling down on Facebook, it was so depressing. On the contrary, P used to be full of positive energy all day, saying "Have a peaceful new day everyone", showing off her pictures with a big smile, now she only posts self-consoling posts, about healing, about overcoming pain, the other day she changed her avatar to black, making her friends panic, thinking someone had died. It turned out her beloved Egyptian cat had just died. She was going crazy.
The woman in the blue dress said: My husband is like everyone else these days. After returning from a trip to India with a group of friends, he suddenly became quieter. He laughs less, talks less about work than usual, but is more willing to help his wife with housework and take care of the two children more. He also drinks less. Before, when he went to bed and his friends called, he would get up and go right away, and his wife couldn't stop him. Now, when his friends call, he refuses, so for the past month, no one has invited him. The other day, he even told his wife that this was the best version of him.
The lady in the pink dress smiled: I also see that you have changed, perhaps influenced by your husband. The other day, chatting with you, you said that Ms. C said this and that about you, usually before you know what happened you would jump up and curse at people. This time, I saw that you were very calm, not angry at all, but asked again and told me that she said that because she didn't have enough information. Last night, I also listened to a Dharma talk about controlling emotions, very good. There is a concept: "Wild horse syndrome" about wild horses being attached to bats and sucking their blood and many of them died. Scientists have determined that the amount of blood that bats suck is very small, it cannot kill the horses. The reason horses die is because they are angry and run around until they are exhausted. It is the anger that kills them. In life, only those who can control their emotions will succeed.
The lady in the green dress nodded: Life is always moving, if we don't change ourselves, it's sad. Later, you and I will go shopping, green and pink are boring. At the end of the year, let's do something different!
