The so-called deeper than the sea, but also deeper than self-indulgence

It is obviously a Japanese movie, but it resonates strongly with me: grandma living alone reminds me of my grandmother, the difference is that my grandmother is a shopaholic, and the food at home is the best; grandma’s words about death , my mother often told me that death is not far away; and Zhenwu's excitement about the coming of the typhoon, like me, this is probably the "common problem" of children who grew up by the sea... When grandma asked The male protagonist "Have you ever met that person who loves deeper than the sea?" The male protagonist looked at the room where his ex-wife and son were sleeping, and seemed to imply "that's them", is that true? Is it true that you love your wife and son more than the sea? The one I love the most and value the most is actually myself, that’s why I have been depressed for so long because of “underappreciating talents”, and I have been indulging my gambling addiction. I don’t even have the ability to raise my wife, children, and parents. The so-called disappointment in life is just a person who spoils himself. Just a selfish excuse.
