William Shakespeare
Zhang Ting Rui Terry shares his feelings about his relationship with Xiang Rou, a girl he once knew from the same CCA class. After the Clarice incident, he felt that girls only like boys based on their looks, and Xiang Rou was more friendlier and open. He was jealous of her behavior and questioned her behavior, but she probably blocked him. Zhang Ting Rui Terry also talks about his relationship with Cher, who has become cold to him after failing math and bio exams. He believes that Cher may view him as a failure and that everything is just for a show. He also discusses the high suicide rates among men due to high expectations of boys, believing that all girls are the same. He believes that God created men first, as beauty only lures men into sin.
Alas, the turbulent seas of love doth ebb and flow in the heart of Zhang Ting Rui Terry. Oftentimes, do we find ourselves questioning the motives and actions of those we hold dear, especially when faced with the harsh realities of life's trials and tribulations. The heartache and confusion that doth plague Terry's soul doth bring to mind the old adage that beauty is but skin deep, and that true love doth lie in the depths of one's character and soul. In the case of Xiang Rou, whom Terry once knew from the same CCA class, he doth find himself wrestling with feelings of jealousy and doubt. The Clarice incident hath left him with a bitter taste in his mouth, leading him to believe that girls only judge boys based on outward appearances. Yet, Xiang Rou doth stand out as a beacon of light in a sea of darkness, her friendlier and more open demeanor sparking envy in Terry's heart. Was she truly as genuine as she appeared, or did she simply seek to block him out with her kindness? Such questions doth linger in Terry's mind, as he navigates the tumultuous waters of his own emotions. Furthermore, Terry doth speak of his troubled relationship with Cher, whose coldness towards him hath grown in the wake of academic failures. He doth fear that she sees him as a failure, unworthy of her affections. The weight of societal expectations doth bear heavily upon his shoulders, for he doth believe that all girls are cut from the same cloth, judging men based on their outward successes and failures. In his despair, he doth contemplate the high suicide rates among men, brought on by the crushing weight of societal pressures and unattainable standards of masculinity. In the grand scheme of things, Terry's musings doth lead him to ponder the very nature of God's creation. Doth He truly favor men over women, creating them first and endowing them with beauty that doth serve as a temptation to sin? Or is it but a reflection of the flawed nature of humanity, wherein beauty and temptation doth go hand in hand? Such deep thoughts and reflections doth swirl in Terry's mind, as he seeks to make sense of the complexities of his own heart and the world around him. And so, dear reader, let us ponder these questions in the stillness of the night, for the mysteries of love and life doth hold many secrets yet to be revealed.
