Chicken thighs are the taste of family affection and a symbol of pampering. But for some, it has become a heart-wrenching memory.
Recently, a woman shared her experience on social media that she hated her grandfather for 30 years. 30 years ago, on an ordinary day, her grandfather bought two chicken legs. The two brothers had one for each of them, but she could only watch from the sidelines. At that moment, her heart broke.
This story is heart-wrenching and thought-provoking. Chicken thighs, a seemingly insignificant food, have become a litmus test of family affection and indifference. This story shows us that sometimes, the alienation and hurt of family affection is much deeper than we think.
In the comment area, netizens shared their stories. Some say that their parents prefer their older brothers, while others say that their grandparents prefer their cousins. These experiences are chilling. We often think that family affection is the purest and most selfless emotion, but sometimes, it can hurt us deeply.
However, we can't stop loving because we're hurt. Although sometimes our loved ones can disappoint us, it is not a reason for us to reject affection. We need to understand that everyone has their emotions and choices. They may behave inappropriately for a variety of reasons. But in any case, this cannot be a reason for us to deny family affection.
For that woman, 30 years of resentment may have become a deep scar in her heart. However, she may have the option to reconcile with her grandfather. After all, resentment doesn't solve anything, while understanding and forgiveness can open a new chapter.
Of course, this does not mean that everyone must forgive those who have hurt themselves. Sometimes, the damage is too deep to be repaired. However, we can choose not to allow these harms to continue to spread. We can choose to learn from Xi and move on.
This story also shows us that we need to respect and value family affection more. No matter where we are, no matter what we go through, we must not forget the preciousness of family affection. We need to feel, understand, and cherish every moment with our loved ones. Because once lost, it may never be recovered.
In closing, I would like to say that no matter what you have been through, do not give up on the hope and pursuit of family affection. Loved ones are the most important people in our lives, and they bring us love, care, and support. Although sometimes they may disappoint us, their love is selfless and deep
