The Philosophy of Native Americans
There is a famous Native American saying: “When you were born, you cried and the people around you smiled. Live your life in such a way that when you die, you smile and the people around you cry.” In other words, when a baby is born, it cries while those around it welcome its birth with joy. The saying teaches that you should live a life so fulfilling that, at the moment of your death, you can look back with a smile, feeling that you have lived well—while those around you grieve your passing. In reality, however, in Japan, it often seems that people who skillfully put on a pleasant smile and behave tactfully—even toward those they dislike—are the ones who succeed in society. Perhaps there will come a day, at the moment of death, when it becomes unmistakably clear how others, including my family, truly felt about me.

Moment of death is a bit on the nose for the English who have a more subtle palate.
It feels a little out of place to turn inward when the rest of the piece has been more about “one” and “you” than “I” but the language is great

It's an interesting point you make. But I think people who prioritise people-pleasing over personal fulfillment will end up just having shallow relationships, since noone know the real them.

Thank you very much for your help and message. These days, I am very comfortable to be alone due to some reasons. I don't want to pretend to like someone I don't like. Hahaha.
