I took the shoes to the shoemaker to get them repaired. He looked at them and said to me, If you trust me, I will add more scratches on both of the shoes.I was surprised and asked why. He explained, As if the openings were made on purpose for a special style. I didnt fully understand him, but I decided to leave the shoes there.Two days later I dropped by from work to fetch the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six more scratches on each shoe, but all the openings were patched（打补丁）by red soft leather(皮革). They looked special. I couldnt help making compliments(赞扬) on the shoemakers skills.Another time, there was a large opening on the back of my wifes sisters white coat. My wife took it over, checked carefully, and then said, Let me take it home and mend it.Three days later, seeing the coat again, I was shocked: the big opening was taken place by a beautiful flower and it took on a wonderful look. I gave my praise, Its just as beautiful as a piece of art!Perfection is impossible to achieve in everything, and so is humans life, which will appear in the form of injury, disability or disease. Since you cant change a wound(伤口), you should not expect peoples pity by exposingthe wound, which shows nothing meaningful.
