🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"At a gambling game played in secret, how does a person's true nature come out?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
In this scene painted by Kim Deuk-sin, the faces of men sunk in gambling around a circle are vivid. Greed and tension show plainly in the hands gripping the cards and the eyes glancing sideways. I feel that this painting watches a person quietly rather than scolds him. Even before a small stake, a person cannot hide what is within. What does my own face look like when I stand before gain? The moment greed rises is precisely the chance to examine myself most honestly.

The more a moment hangs on gain, the more you should check once more the face about to give way, and steady your heart.
