Sacrifice

Thoughts 2014. 7. 16. 01:02

One character I found among Koreans is that they're afraid of losing so many things.

They follow very imaginative ideology, great in number of directions, which it could be a good thing, but the actions never come into reality. They are always progressive in directions, but never progressive in distance. I wondered why.

Americans are accustomed to losing many things while they are grown up. They learn what sacrafices mean, and it dosn't always mean bad. Which makes them ready to take on any challenges ahead.

Kids in Korea rarely do understand what losing means. They are only accustomed to gain. More allowances, more studying, better education, better house, and better vehicle. As if all these gains are promised even before they were born. They are not taught to sometimes take a traceback or sacrifice something for better mean, as if tracing back means "loser" in their society.

When they come to deciding something, as any decision requires some sort of sacrifice, their profeciency of imagery bewilders, and their imagination becomes an imagination.

 

“It's not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What's hard, she said, is figuring out what you're willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about.”
