Chapter 2142: Chapter 1975: How Much
As long as there is hope, there can always be a day when wishes come true. Sometimes, you have to admit that loving someone is truly exhausting.
In fact, Old Master Zhang understands deep down that he no longer has any right to interfere in his grandson’s and granddaughter-in-law’s family matters. He also knows that everyone needs to grow, and only continuous growth makes one’s life meaningful. Initially, his own growth brought many painful memories, but in the end, these memories became the most beautiful recollections in one’s heart. No matter what career one chooses or experiences, each decision will make them happy about their past efforts, leaving no regrets.
"Grandpa, thank you for your encouragement today. I will never forget the words you said to me. If one day I truly succeed, I will definitely come back here to find you because you gave me the best comfort, letting me know that life is not lonely and there will be much joy and happiness. As long as I keep exploring my future path, I will live a happy life throughout. No one knows what fate awaits them, and no one can make a premature budget for their life’s future."
Yes, I believe, as you said, grandpa, one day I will study abroad, and one day I will let those who have comforted me and encouraged me know that their views of me were not wrong because I proved with my efforts that I am the best person in the world. I can climb to the peak of life step by step with my own efforts, build my own kingdom with my hands, without relying on anyone, because every decision I make ultimately links to my perfect life!
I’ve already invested too much genuine emotion without knowing which path will make me happy for a lifetime, never suffering any setback or harm. I also realize that some things won’t come true just because I want them to; everyone has different ways to a happy life, so I have no right to dictate another’s happiness. The only thing I can do is make my life happy and joyful, unlike the meaningless past!"
"Child, grandpa knows that there’s a reason you say these words and believes that every decision you make will be a significant part of your future."
Perhaps I should do as you say and stop interfering in my family’s relationships and lives. Everyone’s path is really different. I should let them go their own way, let them have the life they want, allow them to trust each other. Only with a trusting marriage can they go far. I can’t arrogantly do whatever I want; the world isn’t governed by me alone.
Everyone faces different choices in life; no one knows the outcome, and no one can predict what their life will become. It’s only through one’s choices, exploring step by step, and never fearing harm that, eventually, they’ll find the world has many different things!
Maybe when I finally understand, I will realize that every thing I did was wrong; I shouldn’t demand my family make the same choices as me, because the world isn’t perfect, there aren’t identical lives, everyone’s life is different. Unfortunately, I just now understand why my son never contacted me all these years, how could he never have interacted with his father?
This matter is the deepest pain in my heart. I always thought as long as it’s what I want, my son would fulfill all my goals as his father. But I never considered how painful and growing his heart must be. Why should I read his life to bring to you — everyone’s path isn’t the same. Forcing my thoughts on him might be my selfishness, causing my child to not want to live with me as his father.
"Grandpa telling you these words today makes me very happy, but everyone must walk their own path, no one can make all decisions for someone else. Everyone faces different roles in life; due to selfishness causing harm, is that the kind of life you want?"
Don’t use your perspective to command everyone’s life because it’s unfair to them. I’m glad for your comfort, but when facing family it’s still necessary. If you show no comfort to your family, how can they truly regard you sincerely? I really hope one day there can be a qualitative leap between you all.
Your grandson’s family is still very happy. No matter their purpose or experiences, even amid occasional quarrels, they’ve never distrust each other. Sometimes they are confused, not knowing what decisions to make or whom to trust.
Some things need clarity. If not clarified, future misunderstandings will deepen uncontrollably.
I believe that for every family, harmony is more important than anything. A harmonious family represents hope. Without harmony, full of distrust, how can the family members live happily, or trust someone unwaveringly forever?"
Old Master Zhang felt the doctor in front of him spoke reasonably.
"Grandpa, humans are strange creatures. Clearly not happy, clearly knowing the answer, but still persist. Yet they cannot end up happy."
