bigger orphanage

Homer is like a little monk who grew up in a temple. He has his own vision for the outside world, but the old dean always keeps saying that the woman under the mountain is a tiger.
Homer's entry into the WTO is not surprising at all. It doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with the earnest teachings of the old dean.

The small cider house did bring work, love, happiness, and joy to Homer, but it also brought ugliness, pain, and helplessness.
At this time, he realized the meaning of the old dean.
From childhood to the first time he left, he thought that the orphanage was a terrible place. People who came here either had ulterior motives, or they only took away one hope and left a bunch of disappointments.
He suddenly realized that he was not useless in the orphanage, he suddenly realized that he was not useful in the cider house.

That ridiculous rule posted on the wall of a wine bar doesn't apply to anyone.
Only there, experiencing, struggling, and longing, can you comprehend your own rules with your heart.
Abortion is not a bad thing, and reckless childbirth is not a good thing.

The outside world is more like a bigger orphanage, which is why Homer was born again and returned to the orphanage.
