与父母的关系永远是不公平的。当父母处在最好的状态——最有精力、最活泼、最有爱心的时候,我们还不认识他们,因为那时我们尚未出生,或者太小,还不懂得欣赏。等到我们长大,开始明白一些事的时候,他们已经老了;不再有过去的精力,不再有年轻时的生存意志。他们的幻想以各种方式破灭过,经历过失败,已经满心苦涩。我有极好的父母,极好。只是在我本该欣赏他们的时候,我没能做到。我太傻了。
Relationships with parents are never fair. When our parents are on top form, at their best, their most energetic, their most lively and their most loving, we don't know them because we don't exist yet. Or we're so tiny that we can't appreciate it. Then, when we grow older and start to understand certain things, they're already old. They no longer have the energy which they used to have. They no longer have the same will to live as they had when they were young. They've been disillusioned in all sorts of ways, or they've experienced failure. They're already bitter. I had wonderful parents. Wonderful. Except I wasn't able to appreciate them when I should have. I was too foolish.
