Parents have gone through many difficulties to achieve happiness. Didn’t we overcome all those hardships just to bring happiness to our descendants?
In a family, even though they have the same conditions, the elderly can smile with happiness when the young people scream with unhappiness. Because the things that made people feel happy yesterday, in just a short time, will become normal things. People hope for something new and different to make them happy.

Ms. Ngoc’s family has been in this neighborhood for more than 20 years. She and her children have been here since the time when the whole area was shabby and temporary, until now the neighborhood is spacious and clean. Everyone knows that the greatest happiness of Mr. Cu – Mrs. Ngoc’s husband – is that the house they live in is worth about ten billion dong.

Every morning, Mr. Cu and his friends play chess, drink coffee, and comment on market prices. The whole group agreed with him, work hard all your life until you get old and have a house worth billions, live in peace of mind.
Mrs. Ngoc’s happiness is her two daughters who work at the bank, the rain does not reach her face and the sun does not reach her head. All of them are beautiful, have stable jobs, and have decent husbands and children. Mrs. Ngoc showed off to her group of friends who went for a morning exercise about the clothes and shoes her daughter bought for her mother. In Mrs. Ngoc’s eyes, whoever marries her daughter will be blessed for a lifetime.
Ms. Ngoc just did not tell the story that Nhi – her youngest daughter – has recently been seriously depressed. For the past few months, Nhi and her husband have been struggling with their divorce. The wedding just took place last year, the couple had not yet gotten to know each other well, the husband had an extramarital affair, Nhi decided to break up even though both parents wholeheartedly advised her.
To avoid unwanted conversations, after work, Nhi visits a newly opened gym near the company and practices until late at night before returning home. The gym is really crowded but it’s suitable for her. Just wearing headphones, she quietly gnawed her own sadness, without having to communicate with anyone.
From the outside, Ms. Ngoc’s family is still a happy home, but not really. Nhi has almost all the conditions for happiness: youth, beauty, education, job, love from her parents… Mrs. Ngoc often says at family meals: when her parents were young It’s so miserable, not being like you guys are now…
When announcing the divorce, Nhi just said lightly: incompatible, break up. But after that, Nhi couldn’t get over it. When she returned to her parents’ house, quit her job, closed the door, and didn’t talk to anyone, Mrs. Ngoc panicked. The doctor said part of Nhi’s psychological pressure came from her family. When the adults in the family always think that their family has all the conditions for happiness, Nhi feels guilty when she herself is not a piece of happiness.

In the stories of the grandparents of the chess association and the fitness walking association, young people seem too fragile, exaggerating their own difficulties. There’s nothing wrong with being depressed, over-dramatizing personal matters, living in love, not knowing how to appreciate what you have. As long as we live to this age, we will know that the love of our parents and siblings is the only thing that will last, the house and money are the foundation… Mrs. Ngoc has heard these things hundreds of times. But after a conversation with the doctor yesterday, she felt there was something she had to rethink.
Parents have gone through many difficulties to achieve happiness, the challenges of today’s youth may be nothing. But don’t we overcome all those hardships just to bring happiness to our descendants? If the young generation today is not as hard-working as we were in the past, I have to be happy for them. They have the right to be happy on the foundations their parents have built. Their happiness comes from that foundation and goes higher, from that foundation it becomes more beautiful and more refined. Don’t force them to experience your past difficulties.
In a family, even though they have the same conditions, the elderly can smile with happiness when the young people scream with unhappiness. Because the things that made people feel happy yesterday, in just a short time, will become normal things. People hope for something new and different to make them happy. Mrs. Ngoc does not blame her child for “being asked by an elephant for a fairy”, because she knows that what she considers “an elephant” is not enough for her child.
She will tell Nhi: It’s okay to get a divorce, then you will have a new love. At that time, you should be free and comfortably live your life. Each member of our family can be happy in their own way, no one imposes on anyone else, that is the new foundation that your generation is creating for happiness today.
