        ‘The “doublethink” is how you can shout slogans denouncing capitalism in the morning, then browse through the market in the afternoon to buy smuggled South Korean cosmetics.’ It shows the contradiction North Korean have because they need to lie to themselves to survive. It’s always hard to have things go as we want and perceive. There are too many so-called realities to take into consideration, such as family, jobs or health.

        For example, I once practiced dancing so hard that I spent almost ten hours on it a day. Although I made lots of progresses of my dancing skills, I have exhausted my body as if I have too much energy. After the two-month training I started to suffer from frequent colds. Besides I also made my hormone disorder and became extremely weak when I lacked of sleep. The harder I tried to dance, the weaker I became. That’s the way how ideals can not fulfill everyone’s situation.
