Reflections on the Evolution of a Father's Image
The speaker reflects on the evolution of their perception of their father, transitioning from viewing him as a hero to seeing him as a complex individual capable of justifying the deaths of many. This transformation was not sudden but a gradual process of realization. The speaker acknowledges their father's past sacrifices and inspiration as a freedom fighter, but now understands him as someone who hides behind causes and ideologies to mask personal desires and hatred. They express a wish for their father to have a deeper understanding and recognize the harm caused by being driven by hate, anger, and delusion. The speaker points out the contradiction in their father's actions of killing while justifying it as defense, highlighting the mind's ability to rationalize both truth and lies.
