What does it mean to be mature?

"The two people I love the most in my life, one taught me to face life at any time, and the other taught me to face the impermanence of life at any time." This is not only a father-daughter tender film, but also a man's growth story.

A person is willing to jump from the tenth floor for his daughter, and he is willing to stop jumping from the tenth floor for her, which means that he no longer expresses his love in his own wishful way, but expresses his love in a way that is good for the child. He created a fairy tale world for the child, and let her live happily in the last few years of this world. He may be a father who "doses" his child in the traditional sense, but he is the best father. Why does love have to be connected by blood sometimes? This is the most beautiful emotion of human beings, in fact, it does not need a reason.

Regarding my mother, I dislike her very much. If you abandoned your child in the first place, no matter what excuse you use, you will not be able to make up for the lost years, let alone use dirty means to fight for child custody. But put yourself in the shoes, this child has the same blood as hers, which is something that cannot be buried in time and space. If she can make the child live a more stable and happy life, why not give it a try? Love is something that can transcend all hatred. Although the mother made a mistake at the beginning, she should also be given a chance to correct.

The child died peacefully in the company of her parents in her last few weeks, and I don't think she has any regrets. My father's understanding and tolerance for my mother also let me see his growth, because a person's maturity not only means that he has to overcome his fears for the person he loves, but also means that he wants to make the person he loves get real happiness, which is Including that he wants to let his children get the care from the mother. Maybe in the end he still thinks she doesn't deserve to be a mother, but the child has left happily, which is enough for him.

Sometimes we protect our loved ones in self-righteous ways, but we ignore what they really want in their hearts. In fact, our purpose is just to make them happy, why should we care if this happiness is brought by ourselves? I think maturity means not only bravery, loving kindness, but also understanding and tolerance, tolerance for those who have hurt us, tolerance for those irreparable accidents in life. Anxiety is always there, and we don’t need to feel sorry for ourselves, because in the process of fighting against fate, we have grown into a person who stands tall, no longer afraid of the rapids under the cliff, and no longer afraid of the spider on the bed.
