The world is selfish. Each of us looks at the world from our own inherent perspective. No one has the perspective of God, and no one knows the truth. Every now and then, I deeply understand the sentence: the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.
Pete was abandoned by old Pete at birth. Old Pete was an extremely selfish person. He didn't want to let this child disrupt his life. He chose to give Pete to old Horace to raise, and he chose to ignore Pete from then on. Old Horace is a typical macho. He controls the family with absolute force. He doesn't have enough love for his children, let alone this nephew. Has Pete ever been loved? Maybe, it was the moment when little Horace looked at Sylvia and shouted shut up, when little Horace shouted where's Horace to her mother, when the girl with Tourette's syndrome told him that you are the backbone of my mental hospital, and also in It's not the same sentence you say when you're dating a 20-year-old girl. The shimmers kept Horace on hold. He's used to it, so let's go along with the fucking life. If life is a robe, Horace must be black as the background color, and there are occasionally a few holes bitten by lice, so that the faint light shines on Horace's body, and the rest is black.
The mother prefers Horace, she turns all her anger on Sylvia, and develops Sylvia's irritable and mean character. Each of us will eventually grow up to be like our parents, and one day we will also look at our aging skin in the mirror and feel weak in the sagging muscles, and feel the feeling of our parents looking in the mirror that morning.
