Lovely morning. We all have people we care about. It could be a parent, a child, a lover, a friend, a teacher, a pupil, a colleague or any other person who has a relationship with you. You want the people you care about to care about you as much as you care about them. However, if this goes too far, you may wonder whether it is really good for the other person or not. For example, a parent may feel that it is important to care for their child, but if the child wants to do something, they may say that it is too dangerous or too early and not allow the child to do what they want to do.This is not a mean-spirited thing to say, because parents are doing it for the child’s own good. However, this may be taking away from the child’s desire to try something.
As a parent myself, I would like to be able to let my child try things that he or she wants to try, and be able to be there to give them a hand when they need it.I think that when we act out of love for others, we expect them to do what we want them to do, and if they don’t do it, we end up feeling bad about it.
I also think that if we act too much out of consideration for others, we want them to do exactly what we want them to do, and if they don’t act in that way, we end up feeling bad about it. However, the people you care about are just as independent as you are, they have their own lives and their own ideas, and if you care about them, it is important to give them freedom and respect their feelings
When I expressed to my parents that I wanted to go to America for a year, I was scared and fearful that they would object. They didn’t object at all and said, “Go ahead, it sounds interesting.”I will never forget how happy I was and how grateful I was that they trusted me. I’m sure my parents had a lot of concerns at that time, but they never said anything about it and just pushed me to go to America. I can’t thank them enough for that.
To say that you give them freedom is not quite the right way to put it.In other words, if you want your partner or your loved one to be free, you can show that you trust and care for each other. And if you listen to what they have to say when they are free to do what they want to do, then you will have a better relationship with them. It can be a wonderful thing to be able to share a different dream with someone you care about.
