Three different views

Really can't be together.

I want you to take me to see the sea.

I said, "Looking at the sea is very healing; the blue sea is so beautiful."

But you said,

"Many people drown every year while swimming.

If you get tanned, you have to spend money on skincare products and whitening treatments, which is a waste of money.

It's hot, and it's a waste of time."

I said, "I like being tired from work.

When I get home, I have a bathtub to take a bath and watch TV shows to relax."

But you said,

"Putting so much water in the bathtub is a waste of money.

Watching dramas is a waste of time."

I said, "I like traveling.

I feel so good when I go out and see the world."

You said,

"It’s very tiring to drive, and there are so many people.

You might as well stay home and sleep.

Spending this money only brings suffering."

I said, "Let’s break up,

We have different views."

But you said something to me,

"What did I do wrong?

I'm always doing my best for you.

What I want is a box of apples,

But you gave me a box of pears.

But you self-righteously said, 'It's good for you.'"
