Simplified Meaning:

Men's faces often show the real story of their lives, like how they've been happy, sad, angry, or tired. It's like you can read about their experiences just by looking at them. Imagine an old man with wrinkles around his eyes from years of laughing and smiling; his face tells you he's had a joyful life. Women, on the other hand, might present themselves differently. They often use makeup and other beauty methods to control how they look. It's like they're creating a story or a character, showing what they want others to see rather than what they've actually been through. Think of a young woman who spends time every morning putting on makeup to hide signs of stress or tiredness. For her, her face can be like a novel where she chooses the plot and the character. The idea is to remember that appearances can be deceiving, and the true story of a person might not always be visible on the outside.
