"Being happy is like removing useless hair from the head"_ is a critique of the falseness and redundancy in relationships that people form throughout life. These relationships are often superficial, aiming to extract key information for personal gain. In today's society, there is a growing sense of emptiness and loneliness, despite the number of people we might rely on for company. Individuals who seem like true friends are often just contacts in a phonebook. In moments of need, we realize we can depend on only a small fraction, while the long list of WhatsApp contacts becomes a collection of meaningless names and photos. The metaphor of hair came to me while reflecting on how we close more relationships than we maintain over time. Like hair that grows, reaches its peak, and falls, only a few strands remain just like the truly important people in our lives. The act of "brushing away" represents our need to rid ourselves of those who are superfluous and weak, blocking our personal growth and success. Remember, if you believe everyone around you is a true friend, you may be constructing a mental illusion. You risk becoming just a piece in someone else’s puzzle, used without receiving the attention you genuinely deserve. Learn to let go of your "excess hair" daily.
