Figures? Who need it anyway?

So, it is kinda cliche, isn't it? We are supposed to have figures in our lives growing up, but many of us don't have the chance to know about such figures. I grew up in a so-called healthy family condition, none of my parents died, and they provided me enough to a certain degree. Everything seems perfect in comparison with some who might not have the same condition as me. As a lost soul now, I wonder what's a palace with no king, its...empty, right? soul-less palace with no interest to even come by to catch a visit. So, its meaningless to even have a considered perfect situation when everything inside actually doesn't work as they supposed to. Figures that were supposed to help us through our hardest ships, hardest mental struggles, were just there because it just felt like it was the right thing to do.
