“They wanted me to be a good person rather than happy.” Same Taylor, same

[@chrism45]

Same reason we never got gifts from my parents and only got to keep 1 from our birthdays when me and my siblings were young.

[@brenobacci]

It seems to have worked for us all. Still sad, still good.

[@NathanDePaulo]

This was my favorite line in the video... and I think captures the strangely influential Puritan roots in America perfectly.

[@myjeevie]

That is why she is probably a good person. Too many parents today would rather have merely "happy" children regardless of their character. Not good.

[@NathanDePaulo]

@@myjeevie The implication being happy people can't be good. I think this is a logical fallacy. She was being satirical. It sounds like she might have been satirizing you.
