Two Horizons

Chapter Overview

‘Two Horizons’ is a narrative that captures the emotional and ideological differences between a father and his son. The story is structured as a conversation that gradually reveals how two people, though bound by love, often struggle to connect due to generational gaps. While the father represents tradition, experience, and caution, the son symbolizes change, ambition, and modern outlook. The story’s strength lies in its subtle treatment of family dynamics, emotional distance, and the eventual realization that mutual respect and open dialogue are key to maintaining relationships across generations.
