👍It's worth listening carefully.
This book is very exciting and very realistic. It describes the madness of an ordinary father. It is the same for people in reality when they encounter such things. It is natural to kill people to pay for their lives. This book also tells us that people must receive education, otherwise they will become beasts, because people have animal nature and must be taught from the mother's womb. , For example, the child Pippi was not educated well, and then he was raised into a little beast that can kill people. What this book also tells us is that when you encounter a mental patient, you should immediately send him to a mental hospital instead of asking a good person to take care of him. If you ask a good person to take care of him, then that person will also go crazy.
