How do you interpret what Elio's father says to him at the end of Call Me By Your Name?

"For fast healing

We take too much from ourselves

so that at the age of thirty

I feel broke

Every time a new relationship begins

The less we can give

But don't feel it in order not to feel it

What a waste. "

Maybe it's because of growing up.

After watching it, it was unusually calm,

I guess I should be happy about my growth?

Dad was right

Everyone's feelings are like a glass of water

meet someone you like

will give this person some water

When I was young, I didn't understand the value of water

always give generously

If you are lucky, you can also get the same amount of water

In more cases, you may get less than what you give, or even no return.

over time

The water in the cup is getting less and less

Giving water will also become more cautious

even so

Still wasting some water

when you find

As the water in the cup gradually decreases

The more you know who your water is going to be

Regrettably

When you finally find the person worthy of the fountain

Maybe you've run out of water in your glass

You may not give as much as you once gave to someone who passed by

But I guess when we're being given water

Don't just look at how much water that person gave you

maybe he gave you

It was all he had left.
