I know that before someone complained, saying that he was at home, like to stay in the bedroom to read, the books he read, but his father, but often said that he did not do the right thing, will only read at home, so he asked netizens for help on the Internet, asking which books he should read, in order to get his father's understanding and support.
It was clear that he hadn't figured out what father really meant.
The real meaning of his father is that he wants him to go out and make money, that he wants him to achieve worldly approved results, and what books to read and how to read books are all just a cover, just an excuse to get his hands on it.
If a person's real needs are not met, they will use other forms to express their dissatisfaction.
