What is the coldest joke you have ever heard?

The biggest joke I have ever heard is that others say I am a very clever boy.

The people who said this, including my parents and the teachers who used to teach me, all said it in very sincere language. I won't doubt that. When I was very young, I grew up in this "you are smart" atmosphere. So that after realizing their limitations, they fell into great pain.

Looking back on the past, I experienced a process in which others thought I was smart, I thought I was smart, and I didn't think I was that smart. In the process, I reconstructed another self. This kind of understanding and construction is much like a cicada breaking its shell and a chicken breaking its shell. The process is painful. In the process of understanding, from the initial doubt to the final acceptance, there are too many pains and entanglements, as well as a lot of doubts and unwillingness.

All this is like quenching in steelmaking, and impurities are stripped off bit by bit. In the end, you presented a different me. This me is the real me, no, the relative real me, the real me at this level. In the days to come, if all the years are peaceful, you can only do this. But if you want to be reborn from the ashes, you must be prepared to accept the painful process.

When a cold joke happened to me, I experienced pain and gained a new understanding of myself. In this process, I understand that if I want to peel another layer of skin, I have to accept that painful process. This is the only way.
