I was watching an Iranian movie with my 11 years old son today (The Past). The movie was a bit beyond his understanding.
He asked me: "Who is the good guy, who is the bad guy?"
I replied: "They are all a bit good and a bit bad"
Not being satisfied with my answer he then asked me: "so who is the one that we are supporting?"
I replied: "We are not supporting any of them, we are just observing them"
My son then realized that taking a nap is his best option. Meanwhile, I was thinking, from where our kids learn that there should always be a goody and a bady and from where they learn that we always need to support one of the sides!
