this piece had a strange result for me. in the beginning especially about how mother was in a bad position. I could see my mother surrounded by stacks of dirty dishes from making dinner for the six of us. i felt bad for her and would try to help. if i broke a dish while helping, my father would beat me. i still have difficulties hearing out of one ear from his hitting me so hard. i did not like my father, who, even on his deathbed managed to insult both me and my wife. but for some reason this writing forced me to see something i had not considered before - how did marriage become what it was then and still is for some now. i'll tell you what i see: my mother surrounded by piles of dishes, on one hand. And now, for the first time, i see my father surrounded by piles of his dead friends on a battlefiled. Yes, he survived, but the rest of his platoon all dead. should I have had more understanding and compassion towards my father? he didn't teach me those things. my mother did. but I wasn't very good at it. so, now i must reconsider a life of hating my father. that is what has come up in my mind. i love your inspirational writing, Sagrio. you make me think.
