letting go of our children is more important than holding onto them. mentally ,physically and emotionally this is the best gift of a parent to a child. We are guiding them and providing them the oppurtunities that we think are good for them. They walk on that path and we make sure they do. If the path they want to take is not to our liking, we will manipulate their minds in the pretext of our knowledge and experience. But is that really what matters?
What are values we give them? We have to first live by what we expect of them. Even then, if they differ, then we have to respect the difference. Respect for the diversity in all creation is what will probably take us to the next step in evolution and the first step should be taken by us.
Its all that matters.With true respect i think true love dawns.

True words.. We set a path for them at a young age by instilling values in them. after acertain age, we have to let go & watch them. nothing more, nothing less. we forget to realise that they step out the house to a totally different culture. They don't experience the same experiences we have had.. relax thinking that you have shown them the right path in life..
