It can soothe you if you have the same pain

The reason why David suffered was not because of how bad he was, but because of how bad his life was.
David has what many people dream of, but he wants his father's approval, to be a writer, to have positive qualities, to be a nutritious person, not just fast food; he wants to reunite with Noreen and bring the family together again .
The world is always full of all kinds of fast food that tastes good, but not very nutritious.
In the end, his father gave him approval and told him that he had to throw away something in order to survive this shit-like life. He chose American success, he chose to continue to look after his children, and he chose archery.
David showed his work to his father, as if he didn't have the heart to write for a long time, this seems to be only the first one. "The hard thing and the right thing are often the same thing." The later, the harder.

After reading it, I finally let go of my own difficulties, "easy never appears in the adult world", and I don't want to be a "fast food", I don't want to simply put my life on something, I want to try to catch something until death. "There is still time", to me, it seems that the transition is a little late, but not as late as David, and I don't want to wait until middle age to struggle, and finally have to lose some things and accept the fact that I have become a "fast food" , continue to live for other important things. While I'm young, I'm going to grab some more.
