Our life is perfect!

红鹿

My seven-year old son Nathan suddenly asked me a question the other day, "Mom, why are you working so hard?"

I answered immediately without thinking, "Because I want us to have a better life."

Nathan said, "But our life is already perfect."

Good point.

Although adults take lots of responsibilities which might be burdens of their lives, the perpective of the child is still informing.

不尽然。其实奋斗是奋斗，快乐是快乐。上进心，也是正常人内化于心的一种本质性的东西。
