People are complicated creatures, on the one hand, able to perform great acts of charity, on the other, capable of the most underhanded forms of betrayal.
It’s constant battle that rages within all of us, between the better angles of our nature, and the temptation of our inner demons, and sometimes the only way to ward off the darkness is to shine the light of compassion.
We have Mr. Positive and Mr. Negative doing constant battle in our head, guess who wins? The one we feed the most!
这个世界运行着两套规则：在人前个个都是谦谦君子、窈窕淑女；在人后却干着“人无横财不富，马无夜草不肥”的勾当。明面上，我们弘扬正义、驱逐邪恶；暗地里却干着损人利已、假公济私。与其说是“江湖叵测、人心险恶”，不如说：“天道轮回、昼夜更替”的自然规律。

参考摘要：
Determined to save her son from losing trace of humanity, Bree conducted her desperate act, putting marijuana into Andrew’s locker and telling on him anonymously, thus to sooth her impeccable moral compass, as a result, she buried her son’s future herself no matter how strongly her husband Rex was opposing.
For the sake of alleviating her tremendous workload of taking care of her family, Lynette made her ultimatums that she has to resort to external assistance, which is to hire a full-time nanny, then she took advantage of Bree’s expertise, and finally secured a high-grade nanny even though at the risk of being called unseemly.
Although her treacherous affair has been cut short by Juanita’s tragic accident, Gaby is now more anxious than ever, on the one hand, she is seeking for something exciting and meaningful to satisfy her vanity, on the other, she grabs every chance to fill the hole in her heart as if a moth tirelessly heading into the bright side, regardless it is a spotlight or campfire.
Susan didn’t show any compassion to Zach, the son of her so-called great sister Marry Alice, moreover, she strongly encourages Junie to cut ties with Zach, which her deceased friend Marry would turning over in her grave to witness such betrayal of trust. However, she reached out to Gaby after she leant the news that Carlos was arrested by police.
Whether we believe it or not, the world is a vanity Fair, and it has two set of rules, if you look on the bright, there’re full of decent men and elegant women all over the world doing honorable things with a noble course. but if we dive deeper into the dark side, it turns out the same people we saw on the bright side, would take advantage of all the measures at their disposal to pull a wool over our eyes, preventing us from figuring out their underhanded forms of hoax, defraud and betrayal. by which I mean dignifying themselves on the outside, while belittling others on the inside, to make matters worse, sacrificing others on the altar of their so-called ambition in exchange for their endless ill-gotten gains.
