Below is a beautiful paragraph I compiled for you. I hope you like it and welcome to read it. Excerpt 1 from the classic passage of The Kite Runner

1. It is better to be hurt by the truth than to be deceived by lies. Gaining and losing is always more hurtful than never gaining.

2. But for me, this is the only opportunity to become a person who is noticed instead of just seen, and listened to instead of just heard.

3. But I will greet it with open arms. Because every time spring comes, it always melts one snowflake at a time. And maybe what I just saw was the melting of the first snowflake.

4. When you lie, you steal other people’s right to know the truth. When you defraud, you steal equity. I don't remember what year or month that happened. I only know that the memory is with me, perfectly condensing the beautiful past, like a thick stroke of ink, smeared on the canvas of our life that has become gray and monotonous.

5. When sin leads to good deeds, that is the greatest salvation.

6. Having gained something and then losing it is always more hurtful than never gaining something.

7. Over the years, I have seen countless guys participate in kite chasing, but Hassan is the most skilled person I have ever seen. What is very strange is that before the kite falls, he always waits at the place where it will fall, as if he has some kind of compass in his body.

8. People without conscience and virtue will not suffer.

I know I'm being cruel, as before, I always used words he didn't understand to tease him, but teasing Hassan is a bit fun--although it's morbidly fun, a bit similar to the game we torture insects. But now, he is the ant, and the person holding the magnifying glass is me.

12. Time is very greedy. Sometimes, he will devour all the details alone.

13. When they filled up the pipe, Dad always said it was to "feed the pipe" and they talked loudly, always focusing on three topics: politics, business, and football. Sometimes I would beg Dad to let me sit with them, but Dad would block the door. "Go away, go away now," he would say, "This is grown-up time. Why don't you go back and read your book." He would close the door, leaving me alone to wonder why he was always the only one for grown-ups. Time

　14. I walked behind him, mumbling words, and imitating the way he walked. I saw him lift up his rugged right leg and sway it to draw an arc; I saw his body involuntarily tilt to the right every time he stepped down on that leg. It was a small miracle that he was able to stagger forward without falling.

15. Many years have passed, and people say that old things can be buried. However, I finally understand that this is wrong, because the past will creep up on its own.

16. It is your choice what kind of work you want to do. The important thing is that if you want to find the job you want, you should be prepared to face challenges and force yourself to step out of your comfort zone. Excerpt 2 of the classic passage from The Kite Runner
