great expectations

Technical skill is mastery of complexity while creativity is mastery of simplicity

-- Zeeman.

she has always felt disappointed that her children were leaning more toward mastering complexity than simplicity, she failed to recognize that she never appreciated any attempts at creativity that didnt go in tandem with her world, and hence she herself shunned her children away from it.

maybe she should never realize it. a little disappointment is better than guilt.

or maybe she has the license to do so, she created them, hence she owns them, thus she owes no guilt and is also allowed a huge credit of expectations?


and she tries to kill herself when her child dies, so her expectations are not so great, after all?
