Jackson's story is inspiring. He proved himself to be a hard-working person, and he did not want to get married and move in with his wife until he was ready and had a steady income. Those are good traits! And he even cared for the friend who didn't believe in him.
I know some writers like to provide the moral lesson at the end of their story, but I encourage you to let your story tell itself, @adoore-eu. :-)
When there is a lesson provided by the author, it is kind of like the lights going on in a movie theater when you are still enjoying the film!
Thank you for the kind words and the correction. If the main point had stood out, there is no need obviously. I got that, thanks
