Quote by Otsuichi

Strange combination, isn't it--gratitude and resentment? But this is the way I think. Actually, I think everybody thinks that way. Even the children of the humans who died long ago, I think they lived their lives holding similar contradictory thoughts about their parents. They were raised to learn about love and death, and they lived out their lives passing from the sunny spots to the shady spots of this world.

Strange combination, isn't it--gratitude and resentment? But

It acknowledges the contradiction of these feelings but suggests that it is a common human experience. Children are raised to learn about love and death, and throughout their lives, they navigate between positive and negative emotions, just like shifting from sunny to shady spots in the world.
