The question refreshed my memory of many stories in my life. As you know,

life is different. Each individual has their own nature and school of thought.
Likewise, I have my own character and standpoint which not every surrounding
people have in common. To be honest with you, I didn’t have a deep hatred of
anyone but this doesn’t mean that I am pleased with everybody.
And one of the people I didn’t like but always have to play nice is my paternal
uncle. Frankly, I haven’t got a thing about her. For one reason, she is a nun but
she couldn't give up on mundane joys. She sometimes splashes out on
superfluous celebrations or parties which are considered taboo in Buddhism. I
agree that we are born to be happy and enjoy our life. But everything is good if
it’s done in moderation. Sorry but I beg to differ with her way of life.
In addition, she seems to be a braggart. She splurges a large fortune for her
adopted children on getting admitted to their dream school. In other words, she
bribed principals to leave a place for her kids. This was an action I extremely
loathe. Just so you know, I’ve been raised in a disadvantaged family which has
had no favorable conditions. My parents just make ends meet and have no spare
money to facilitate a better learning environment. Therefore, I have no
alternative but to be self-taught and stand on my own two feet, go through every
trial and tribulation in life with my true capacity. So I feel hostile towards
people who just depend on money or social positions to deprive other people of
chances of success. And it’s not the end of the story, she frequently boasts about
her daughter’s academic performance with relatives. I’m so sick of hearing her
proud melody whenever having a family gathering.
I have to admit that she’s loaded. But she can't be allowed to use money as a
tool to meddle in surrounding people's life. I deemed that each individual has the
right to make their own decisions. Simultaneously, they don’t have obligation to
be at the whim of anyone else. Therefore, I disagree about her interfering action.
Despite not having an affection for her. But being a junior, I can’t misbehave
with her. Still, there’s no denying that she gives me a hand at times. For
example, she bought me a top-notch laptop when I embarked on high school or
gave my dad a loan when he was in a predicament.
