Please explain why "I" would be in such grief from the following situation.
Father announced to me with a painful expression.
"He has left this morning. Please forget about him."
When I heard the news, I could feel a shocking pain splitting my body in half. My mind was wiped blank and devoid of any other thoughts. How he will end up is a mystery. And my relationship with him is undetermined. Even as I had this idea in my mind, my emotions were still in disarray.
Himeji Mizuki's Answer:
"His existence is as important as half of his body."
Teacher's comment:
Correct. As it is "as important as half of his body", therefore if "he" is no longer there, the body will experience pain as if it has lost half of it.
Yoshii Akihisa's Answer:
"He is as important as the lower half of my body."
Teacher's comment:
Why is it only limited to your lower half?
Tsuchiya Kouta's Answer:
"Because he is the lower half of my body."
Teacher's comment:
Teacher believes this self-consciousness is not good.
