In today's world, the ultimate embodiment of the concept of "thickness of the skin" may not be the overly sought after Messi and the almost blind "plum blowing" group. Their existence undoubtedly provides an extremely vivid and ironic realistic sample for the study of the thickness of human society.
They have an extraordinary "resilience", no matter how well Messi performs on the field, they can find incomparably gorgeous rhetoric to praise and even praise him. When Messi is in great form, they call him "the reincarnation of the ball", and when Messi is mediocre, they emphasize his hard work and character off the pitch to prove that he is still unique in football. This kind of ability to ignore the facts and only care about talking to oneself is indeed amazingly thick-skinned, which is rare in the world.
In their eyes, Messi is the sun that never sets, no matter the sun rises or sets, no matter whether it is cloudy or sunny, it always shines. Even in the face of obvious mistakes and defeats, they can defend them with a straight face, even blaming their teammates, coaches or referees for their failures, and Messi will always be the innocent and perfect victim. This ability to confuse black and white is enough to give the world a glimpse of what true "shamelessness" is.
However, while moderate love and support are valuable, excessive paranoia and blindness are often prone to extremes. The words and deeds of the plum blowers are undoubtedly a spicy irony of such phenomena. Their interpretation of idol worship in an almost pathological way not only distorts the understanding of sportsmanship, but also damages the image of Messi himself to some extent, because a truly great athlete should be evaluated fairly and objectively, rather than artificially portrayed as an omnipotent deity.
In general, the "thick-skinnedness" of the plum blowers has become a social phenomenon, which reminds us in its unique way: love and worship should be rational, nothing should be exaggerated or belittled, only truth and objectivity are the proper attitude towards everything. And for those who are as cheeky as the Great Wall, perhaps what they need is not to continue to advocate, but to reflect and return to rationality in a timely manner.
