How should one's life be spent?

Meredith 2022-04-19 09:02:10

Many people teach us how to be successful, but few teach us how to be happy. The grandmother of the little girl in the movie is that kind of person. She has planned a perfect road to success for her daughter. She can help her remove all roadblocks, including her happiness and dignity as a human being. Perhaps this mother is naked and selfish, and just wants to use her daughter to achieve her dream. Or maybe she is just selfish without knowing it, thinking that everything she does is for her daughter, to help her achieve the success she should achieve. In reality, there are actually many parents of the latter type, who use what they think is "good" to kidnap their children's lives, and use their definition of "success" to tightly hold their children's happiness. Therefore, many children do not know how to live happily after many years of adulthood.
