    Um actually… they’re doing this intentionally, turning their grandchildren into spoilt brats to continue the torture process of their own children. Coz their children ( now a parent) was also a spoilt brat, developed by the great grand parents.

    The cycle shall continue.

      The scars of imperialism are more than just the ones we carry on our bodies. In dehumanizing the oppressed, the oppressors also dehumanize themselves.

    There’s a conflict with treating others how you want to be treated (idealist) and how you were actually treated (revenge), assuming you weren’t treated well.

    Further, it can be considered just lucky enough if you have grandparents’ love to cancel out parents’ lack thereof. Or motherly love to cancel out father’s lack thereof. It has to cancel out in some way
