Whether it's money, love, happiness etc. often in a sense of greed or for some type of fulfillment. For Klaus and Violet that person was Count Olaf.

In the real world people you love, or people you hate are going to put you down. But you have to be the adult in the situation and handle it and yourself maturely. It's hard, it takes a lot of comprehension, and power to try and figure out how to work around things. Sunny for example a 3 or even younger girl gets kidnapped from her siblings she doesn't know what to do, or why her siblings aren't with her. This girl was forced to do things she wasn't equipped to do such as building tents, fetching things for the bad guys, doing housework, and on top of everything she was forced to sleep in a dish. Sunny was patient and determined and luckily enough for her, her brother and sister came to her rescue. Some are fortunate to have someone by their side while others are not. Regardless you have to be able to get out of situations to help better yourself, for me i draw out how I'm feeling and that helps me cope if I'm having a hard time which is a good example of how to expel your feelings into something good. Others have a hard time and lash out on others damaging
