Its easy to point a country or group of people as good or bad, but your story didn't do that. Instead the story is about being exposed to change. Mma doesn't learn anything from her father's words or her grandmother's discipline; the lesson comes from being given the chance to reflect on how life is compared to how life could be. Beautiful writing.

Oh, no. I don't think there is any particular country that is not doing upbringing right. There is only perception and perhaps the propensity to be restless and dissatisfied no matter how well things are going for us. In my opinion, this chronic restlessness is a disease that is endemic to modern life.
A more rural existence would teach people the value of what they did have in their modern lives and help them be more appreciative of life's gifts and the perks of modern life. That's what this story is about. I'm so glad you took the time to read and leave a nice comment. What an awesome person you are!
