Leaving aside the exploitation and oppression of capitalists, let’s look at it from an emotional and relational perspective.

Let’s talk about family relationships first. Authoritarian and selfish parents rarely seem willing to pay attention and respect their children's thoughts from the heart.

Look at relationships with others. I want to say what the teacher said, when we realize that the world is full of relationships, we will restrict our behavior. The world is a vast web of relationships that connect and influence each other. If we only see ourselves and ignore others, sooner or later we will pay the price.
