Being a middle-aged man seems quite difficult.
Because too many egos are carried away, and are more sensitive in everyday life.
Have too many high hopes for something, and ultimately lead to more disappointment.
Doing something sincerely, but it turns out to be not appreciated, becomes a turning point for great disappointment.
Not his intention to beg to be appreciated, but what's wrong with appreciating someone's hard work.
He had been let down a lot, had brought a lot of hurt, had brought a lot of guilt.
All he needed was a little appreciation for what he did.
His silence doesn't mean he doesn't care, his silence doesn't mean everything is normal either.
He was silent because he himself chose silence.
He was silent because he was tired of everything he did without ending what he hoped for.
Doesn't everyone have high hopes?
