Although we didn’t watch the whole film, the first part, spring itself was pretty impressive. I guess it’s because the film allowed me to reminisce about my happy childhood years. I especially felt a sense of similarity with the little boy who has a pure and innocent heart. I would like to introduce my two childhood experiences which enabled me to become a better man in intellect and virtue.
When I used to be young, I was given many chances to have new experiences. It was partly because my parents encouraged new challenges. My mom used to tell me, “Memorizing one more mathematics formula on your desk doesn’t change anything, dear”. She continued, “Rather, I want you to embrace the world and escape from the provincial and bigoted way of thinking. I want you to become a bigger man”. Therefore, owing to my parents’ influence, I tried to do my best on everything I can. I read diverse books, went to the rural area for several months to learn farming, and learned all kinds of sports and so on. These kinds of extra activities during my childhood enabled me to have profounder view and ideas about social issues. Also, I was able to avoid the dull and hackneyed life of sitting on the chair all day long. I’m pretty sure the little kid will someday thank the monk for his benevolence. The benevolence I’m talking about here is the provision of various opportunities to experience new things.
Moreover, I remember my mom using the eye for an eye approach to fix my problems. When I was in 7 years ago, perhaps, I had a bad habit of occasionally lying to my mom about my whereabouts. I used to hang out with my fellow friends and enjoyed snowball fighting and playing sports after school. As a little kid, I was not confident enough to tell my mom that I spent several hours with my friends playing. At this period of time, I thought studying was everything in life and deemed the rest of the activities as evil. I felt as if I had crossed the borderline of good and evil. That was why I, as little boy, had no choice but to tell my mom a lie about my whereabouts. However, my mom who is astute enough, managed to find out that I was lying. Since she was such a good actor, she acted as if she doesn’t know anything. But as days went by, I also noticed that she started to life about things. “Juny, I promise to buy you a present on your birthday”. The present never even arrived at our house. I started to doubt my mom, and I felt bad about how a person I confided in could constantly lie to me. Then, I suddenly realized that this lack of credibility between my mother and me was rooted to my own mistake, habitual lying. I felt contrite about my past deeds. The eye to an eye approach of my mom was certainly powerful.
excellent!
