@BYE (3) Jo seems like a strong enough person to me. He is coping with his own problems just fine. He has close relationships that he can seek help from. He seems good at adapting to stressors, and is seeking many enriching life experiences through travel, challenging pre-consemptions and stimulating his mind. That is strength in this world, not just influence and money like TJ believes. You cannot throw a bunch of money at a relationship and consider it solved. In that way, Jo is very much stronger than both Ian and TJ, without going through their trauma. And while that also makes him privileged, doesn't that tell us something about our innate need for peace and comfort, and for growing at our own pace as human beings? Why should we glorify and justify what makes us so miserable? We were never supposed to suffer to grow, that's the biggest lie we've been fuc**** sold. And I think that's the whole message behind this manhwa.
