So far, no, not really. It's not that I'm discontented, but more like I've had obstacles (e.g. Covid pandemic), and challenges that slow me down, and at least one that makes me feel as though I'm in 'limbo, altogether. I believe that I have more 'living' to do, and I could only really decide on whether I'm satisfied/dissatisfied with it, just before or even after it ends.
You're right SA, it's truly a video to make one's heart cry. I couldn't read past the first 2 paragraphs before I stated 'tearing' up. If only such realities were enough to change the heart of a tyrant.
I know that this probably happens often enough, when men find out that the children aren't theirs, but the children should not be the ones to be punished or abandoned! The least he could have done was collect the child from school and take him back home, before leaving the home/family altogether.
Rebecca Moon Tue, July 12, 2022 at 6:53 PM·2 min read After discovering that his son was not his biological child, a father in China abandoned a 5-year-old boy at his kindergarten.
The boy, identified by the pseudonym Xiao Rui, was dropped off at school by his father last week in Guangxi province of southern China, reported Jiangxi Morning Daily per South China Morning Post.
Xiao’s father, whose identity remains unknown, purportedly discovered through a paternity test that he was not the boy’s biological father and told staff members that Xiao was now the school’s problem.
Xiao’s teacher, surnamed Chen, stated that his backpack was packed with a change of clothes as well as a mobile phone. After abandoning Xiao, the father purportedly remained in contact with the school but refused to pick up the boy. Chen later stopped by Xiao’s home and discovered it to be empty.

Police contacted Xiao’s grandfather and uncle, who both declined to pick up Xiao. After being left at his kindergarten for five days, the 5-year-old boy is now purportedly being picked up by his biological mother sometime this week.
Weibo users were left outraged, and many expressed sorrow for Xiao.
“He should be playing at his age but now he is like this his life has just begun. He can’t give up, there is really no way,” one user wrote.

“Look at his innocent back, it’s really poignant, other people’s children are pampered like babies, but has to face the cruelty of the adult world,” another user commented.
