The first story is of a boy who was neglected as a child. He was born in a small town - loved by his father, had a narcissistic mother who cared for no one but herself. He had three siblings, one brother and two sisters. He had a kind father who provided for the family and worked very hard to put food on the table. While his sisters were taught to be servile, timid and work as glorified house maids, he and his brother were revered for being males. With no one to appreciate and care for him, he grew up to become a self centred and self obsessed person who tormented his wife and two beautiful children. He couldn't love anyone but himself and couldn't reciprocate to anyone who loved him.He constantly worried about himself and became an egotist which made life impossible for his family. His ego isolated him from all his loved ones and forced him to solitude. A shallow life with a hollow soul.
The second story is of a girl who was loved as a child. Born in a family of poor means, with three siblings, she received love from her parents and siblings. Her mom cooked excellent food and she was a studious child. Ambitious in life to achieve something great, she set out on her path with purpose and dedication. She fell in love with a boy and dreamt of her own happy family. She was determined to make her marriage a success and loved her husband and children deeply. She juggled a career and family hoping to achieve happiness and prosperity. She tried her best but realised a happy family needs two people to be happy…the husband and wife. Constantly belittled and devalued as a human, she witnessed the sufferings her children faced at the hands of a controlling father and anxious mother. Tired of emotional & psychological abuse, she chose a life of solitude to protect her sanity and peace of mind.
