The comparison between the two generations of godfathers just feels that there are too many things to understand
. 1. Men's responsibilities to the family, the first generation of godfathers often said, "How are your wife and children, are they happy?" It seems very chaotic, and it even takes a killer to maintain the surface calm. This is the difference between the two people's concepts. The first generation of godfathers put the family above their careers to maintain the happiness of the family...
2. The second generation of godfathers lacked prestige, so they could only establish prestige through cruel means, but often backfired. He broke the peace between the parties and caused too much bloodshed and revenge. What I feel most is the second-generation godfather's maintenance of family safety. He is more like a law enforcer who maintains the original order and rules, rather than a creator who can bring happiness to the family. More consideration should be given to the question of whether too much of the family is sacrificed for personal development. Or overpaying family members because of some distant goal. In order to expand the territory, the second-generation godfather often put his family in the crater, and he would have to pay it back sooner or later. He had to clean up a lot of people, and the family was fragmented. He ended up being a lonely king. He pushed the enemy, but also replaced the relatives. This is the price.
