Even if my mother has praised me, that doesn't always indicate that she likes me. It does not imply that I am her preferred kid. I continue to see how mother gives my other siblings preferential treatment. Despite the fact that my mother and sister are often at odds, if she had to pick between the two of us, she would undoubtedly choose my sister. She never raised her hands toward my sister, no matter how often they fought or how many times she had let her down. I, on the other hand, receive a thrashing for even one mistake.

My mother always complains about my sister. She had often threatened to expel my sister from the house, but she has remained there to this day. She simply complains and her empty threats, and that is all she does. My sister is very favored, yet she is unaware of how fortunate she is. "Sister, if you only give our mother a little bit of obedience, you will certainly have everything." The only thing she sees is how our mother praises me. She said, "No one loves me. No one cares about me. No one understands me..." It even made me think: "What does she really want? ”

I do not often grasp how a person's mind works. I have no idea how my sister's mind works. She expresses a desire but does nothing to act on it. I place more value on effort than chance. Being lucky is extremely unpredictable and challenging. Consider a dice as an example. You only have a 1/6 chance of getting the desired number, and you have a 5/6 chance of never being able to. There are too many possible outcomes and only one that is the greatest of them, so you can't merely perceive events as head or tail. You may minimize your flaws and perhaps even resolve some of the potential failures if you put in the necessary effort.

I am aware of my sister's academic prowess. However, that was only before. She is self-centered and has self-pity. The only thing she sees is herself. She will feel attacked if someone ever has a different opinion than her, and she will reject them. If she continues to adopt such a mindset, how can she possibly accomplish anything? She also gives up easily.

Despite the numerous things I dislike about her, I will never be the kind to call attention to someone else's flaws. When I saw a personality flaw in someone, I never thought to address them. Because I am that sort of person, I will never be the one to assist someone. Why should I help her? She being disobedient is actually quite advantageous for me. The more my mother and sister argue, the more they will grow apart, and perhaps one day, my mother's affection for her will wane a little.

I gradually came to understand something about myself as time went on. I like to watch people argue over ridiculous things. A straightforward, heart-to-heart discussion might have resolved things, but they have never done so. I suppose I have grown even more unpleasant.

I'm good at seeing personality flaws in people. Is it because I attempt to only perceive a person's flaws and dismiss their positive traits? Maybe. I’m not aiming to alter myself, I think I am okay as I am and nothing has to be changed.

My sister came to me one day. She was more restrained than usual. She gave me a hesitant look as she prepared to speak, "I...I dropped out of school. I do, however, make money as a vocalist in a band."

I smiled at her and said “That’s good. I support you.” She smiled so brightly and thanked me. She said she will treat me when she got her next income.

Despite my outward support for her, I know that things are about to become very nasty. I know they will clash once my mother learns she dropped out and is now concentrating on something else. They usually quarrel, so I suppose nothing will change. Mother will forgive, and the cycle will continue; I have nothing to do with it.

When I woke up, I heard yelling all of a sudden. Additionally, I can hear shattering as if something is being thrown. It was really loud and aggressive. I don't have to think to understand what's going on. My sister's dropout appears to have come to the mother's notice.

“You think tuition is free?! Do you think that going to school doesn’t cause money and you easily drop out?! Do you think I won’t find out about how you not going to school?! Are you even thinking?! ” I heard mother screaming so loud that I thought her vocals might snap. Her outburst was by far the most I had ever witnessed from her. It was the first time I had heard her yelling or tossing objects. My sister’s dropout might have hit her so hard.

My sister's weeping can be heard. My sister may be crying, but I am certain that she is not doing it out of guilt. She believed she had done nothing wrong, and I know she felt wronged. She never gave a damn about how hard it was for my mother to barely make ends meet so she could pay for her school.

Now that I think about it, my sister and I do share a trait. We just consider what is beneficial to us. Nobody else is important to us; only our own pleasure is. She is just different in that she lacks patience and is driven by greed.

I closed the door of my room, and I pretended not to hear anything.
