Response to the Korean reading/ This burns my heart/ Noemí Fuentes

This burns my heart


What shocked me the most about this story is the marriage between Soo-ja and Min. They continue their relationship not because they still love or care for each other but because of the decisions they made in the past. Min refuses to divorce Soo-ja even knowing she is not happy with him and could never be, knowing that she has always loved another man. However, when seeing the way his father treated her when she finally came to America made him realize he was making a mistake. He could not keep pretending that their marriage could be saved and decided to finally give his wife the live she could have had if she had not chosen him.

 

This is a situation that many people are going through right now. Not only in marriages like in this story but also in many other aspects of life. Sometimes we are so afraid of changing and moving on because we are already used to the way things are and we don't know with certainty what the future holds. Is important to not be afraid of changes, especially if you are not happy, because when time passes you will regret not taking that decision and always wonder what could have happened. Is better to take risks in your live than to be stuck with something that doesn't satisfy you.
