Good-looking skins are all the same. Where do interesting souls come from?

From the novel The Portrait of Dorian Gray, the original text is "Too many beautiful faces and too few interesting souls". ?

Later, like the owl's title, "A beautiful skin is always interesting, and a soul is one in a million."

It means: the beautiful appearance is similar, nothing special, but it is not easy to find an interesting person inside.

Moral: don't chase after others' appearance too much. Look at a person not superficially, but also internally. Knowing the essence of this person, inner beauty is the most valuable and cherished.

Portrait of Dorian Gray:

Dorian Gray, born with beauty, discovered her amazing beauty after seeing the portrait painted by the painter Howard, and listened to Sir Henry's boasting. He began to feel pain for his youth and beauty, and expressed the hope that the portrait could take the burden of time and soul instead of himself and make himself young and beautiful forever.

His wishful thinking was later inexplicably realized, and he began to squander his sins. In the end, this portrait became evidence of evil deeds. He was born because of the portrait and died because of the portrait.

The story tells us to pay attention to the cultivation of inner morality, otherwise it will only become the devil.
