Two Views on Motherhood

    I can't deny that it was a great opportunity to listen to what I found very interesting. The food in the restaurant was not as good as it was before, but the conversation was very informative.

  As the meeting became regular and the atmosphere became stable, more in depth content of experiences has emerged without any special burden. Many realistic stories have come and gone during the time of conversation, and the first thing coming up my mind will be introduced for a record.

   One in the late 40s and the other in the mid 50s: they are mothers with two siblings equally. However, the story of each mother's attitude toward the children was compared in a very short and accurate sense.

   The first one was told by the old mother that a long time ago, all of sudden, the subway stopped on the Han River bridge without any apparent reason. What happen to my children if I suddenly die ? That thought would come up to mind first.

   The second one was the story that she once asked one of her friends who told you could die for my kid. She said no doubt about it for you. But she frankly found it hard to understand. 

   I was caught in the middle of two different views. And I looked at the faces of both sides and at the same time, I was told by the older mother, telling about the arbitration proposal.

   "The sacrifice for a child is also about to make me feel at ease. It's a different kind of egoistic thing after all."
