I decided to make a mark here

To remind myself
that no matter how old you are, you can't treat your parents like this...
Another thing: is adulthood really that scary?
The old couple in it can always easily forgive the indifference of their children and become self-sufficient. A comforting answer
, isn't it ? When a certain age is reached, they can ascend to such a state? Then when their children reach such old age, can they also wake up to these neglects
that are too late to remedy...and then regret?
Does it mean that as we get older, each has its own life and continues logically? It's
horrible...
can we not be apart?
Even if it must be a must, can we not be so decisive?
And almost perfect like noriko There are people in unspeakable pain too.
Life threw me a terrifying bomb when I just touched the surface of it.
