核心概念
Overcoming the struggle to forgive oneself for not becoming the person they envisioned.
摘要
The content explores the author's personal struggle to forgive themselves for not achieving the goals and aspirations they had set for themselves. It describes the author's restless nights, haunted by the "could-have-beens" and the sense of grief and regret over their unfulfilled potential.
The author draws a metaphorical comparison between their own situation and a neglected flower, whose roots are parched despite its blooming appearance. This analogy prompts the reader to consider whether the blame lies with the "owner" (the individual) or the external circumstances (the "heat") that led to the flower's wilting.
The core message emphasizes the difficulty of self-forgiveness, even though it is often easier to forgive others. The author acknowledges the courage required to start over and move forward, while grappling with the lingering feelings of regret and disappointment over their unmet expectations.
