“You have not met my standard, and I am extremely unhappy about it”

A son asks his father “Dad, why’s our family all fat?”
Father replied “Son, that’s how we are. We inherit some genes that makes us fat. Why do you ask?”
After little thought, the son asks “Than, why are our dogs fat?”
Like how we waste a new toothpaste.
We waste most things when abundant.
Then regret when only few are left.
Based on the philosophy of “Nothing” from the East Asian version of Wikipedia.
In order to know that “something”(有) exists, there needs to be an opposite concept that can separate “existence”. That is called “nothing”(無)
Similarly, if you always had something, it is impossible to know what it is like to have nothing.
Not knowing merely makes you think you know.
For example,
To appreciate wealth, you first need to appreciate poverty,
To appreciate people, you first need to appreciate loneliness,
To appreciate health, you first need to appreciate being ill,
To appreciate the time, you first need to appreciate the end.
It is a blessing to know the “nothing” without being there. It’s more of a gift than something you can achieve by your own will.
A relationship is like a stone tower.
It takes much care and effort to build.
Yet one mistake can make it fall apart.
Don’t count on all the good you have done.
It is the one time you didn’t, that will matter the most.
