Almost all my friends were planning to go. I also wanted to go with them, but my parents didn't allow me to go because we had to go to my grandfather's house for some family event. I was so upset that I closed the door and didn't speak to them for the rest of the day. Later, after a few days, when I wasn't so distressed, my mother explained to me that maybe it was for my own good. Maybe I'll have more fun at my grandfather's house, and I did. However, I was still trying to think about what my friends were doing at that moment, what I would have done if I were with them. When my friends returned from vacation, they told me that it rained almost all the time and many people got sick due to the bad weather and food. At that moment I understood that whatever my mother said was right: if I had gone on a trekking holiday, I would have gotten sick too. I went home and apologized for my rude behavior and learned a lesson that positive thinking can take a long time
