"مهم نیست که پدرم چه کسی بود مهم این است که او را چگونه به یاد میآورم"
— Anne Sexton
Simplified Meaning:
What really counts is not who your father actually was, but how you remember him. This means that your own memories and feelings about your father shape your view of him more than the facts of his life. For example, if your father was a very busy person but you remember him being there for important moments, you feel like he was always supportive. The way you choose to remember someone influences your thoughts and emotions about them. You can apply this idea by focusing on positive memories and qualities of people in your life, which can help you feel happier and more appreciative. So, our personal experience and perspective can shape our reality and relationships.
