Hello Mappy.
Apparently, he's caught up in the “words” of his father's words.
I think Mappie probably “almost” understood the straight meaning of what your father said.
However, it sounds a bit tough when you divide it into two parts like “people recognize you for being able to do your job” and “people who can't complete their work aren't recognized as people.”
Mappie's question was, “Well, are people who can't work bad people?” I think that's where it is.
Certainly, if you only capture “one thing” called “work,” and if you dare limit it to that, the answer would be “it's not bad if you can't do a job,” and I also feel like “as a person” is going too far.
However, as you can imagine, the word “work” that your father refers to doesn't just mean work in terms of simple occupation.
You can imagine many meanings from the word work.
Duties, occupations, studies, homework, given, choices...
Also, the way to capture it
It's an order, it's an obligation, everyone does it, so I can't help but aspire to do it for myself, for someone else...
There must be various scenes and ways to capture them, etc.
But please think about it carefully.
Whether someone told you to do it yourself, whether you wanted to do it or not, who ultimately decided to “do it.”
Yes, it's me.
In the end, I am forced to decide whether to say “YES” or “NO” no matter what.
You should be able to say “NO” in any situation if you don't think about your own position or public body.
However, the fact that it is already right in front of you in a state where you have to do it means that you chose “YES” yourself after replying “I will do it” myself, in other words, in the situation where I chose.
Try replacing the word “work” that your father says with “YES.”
People recognize them for being able to say “YES,” and people who can't say “YES” at all are not recognized as people.
Wouldn't it be easier to understand if you think about it this way?
To me, it sounds like Dad is telling you, “Do whatever you choose.”
He may be harsh in his way of saying it, but he's a warm father.
