BERNAS | Chinese New Year Commercial - Family Reunion Dinner "Sek Fan" E...

I was told to write about how this video relates to what we are discussing in class such as privilege, race, class.  I think the beautiful thing about this is that it does not relate to any of those subjects. Its not about society and expectations. Its not about violence and cruelty. Its about love, it is about cherishing what we do have. Being thankful for who we are and what is around us. In this the father says, "Son, little by little we will make it". The power of love can do enormous things, it can change lives. Love is something that takes our focus away from the harshness of society. Love, especially unconditional, can bring people to great lengths.

Sometimes we need that push. Sometimes we need someone to stand by us, to be with us, to hold us up. Doing everything alone can be difficult on one person. Being alone, I believe, can cause you to question your importance. Can cause insecurity and maybe even depression. Just by letting or showing someone that you care, it can change lives. The only problem i think with that is people are afraid to love. People are afraid to show it, to feel it. When you put in that much care for someone, sometimes it can be scary because love can cause pain. But it is a strength you gain, it is trait that should be spoken of often. When someone tells you or shows you love, automatically you feel important. No matter who it is, you are somebody special in someones eyes. So no it does not express the pressures of society but it expresses the nature of man. A nature that many people are turning into negative, into material objects. Its name is being used in vain.Rather than focusing on hate, why isnt love focused on as often?
