When I was just about 11 or 12 years old, I watched a Japanese drama with my mother…
The protagonist lived a very difficult life. It spanned through World War II and all that…
She started off well… but then, things kept getting worse and worse… by the time she married, at first it seemed alright, but then it got WAY WORSE… The husband turned out to be the biggest disappointment of her life.
And my mother turned to me and said, “You have to marry someone that will give you a better life. You can’t marry someone who’s going to make your life worse. We’d rather you stay single. Don’t marry a guy who’s going to pull you down.”
NEVER. Marry a guy who’s going to “pull… you… down…”
It’s gotta be for a better life than what you already have.
