Another Mothers' Day , I wish all the mamas best of all everything and all your love and care. Yes, the mamas have sacrifice for all their children in this world and bring them to what they are or what they are not. It is really something , whether good or bad
Love is unconditional and universal but most mamas only care for their kids and it is natural. It is the concept of ownership. You give birth them and you own them and you have to be responsible for them. They are another part of your property or ownership and you want them to listen to you and you do not tolerate any kind of rebellions.
Yeah, this is a materialistic world and the children owed them and should be grateful for the support , education and dedication to them. Some mamas treat their children as investments especially in the Asian concept. But, in countries like USA and Japan, Once , they grown up , they have to move out and live on their own. The parent ceased to be responsible for them. This difference in concept have its pros and cons. Nevertheless, no each way is totally right but I rather support the USA and Japan concept , as same as the wild, once, the animals are grown up , they have to wonder out and to have their own life .
Coming to the Gen Y or Z generation , the concept of ownership is breaking down as these generations have their independent mind and their own path. They rebel against the old concept of what is best for them instead of hearing the old music of what they have to be and where they have to stay. The world is flat to them and there is no borders around them, There have their own version of what they want to be or their own interpretation of happiness. It is no more within the control of the mamas and the papas. Is become a doctor , lawyer or engineer a happy life or a good life journey? It totally changing now .
It is amazing how the culture or the mind set have changed. The materialistic world is still there but the ownership concept is breaking down and evolving everyday . Maybe , this is the right path and the right thinking of living happily which is defined in the old way is breaking down and change for the better.
Yes, why should we live within the confinement of what is defined as happy by people of the past. The right thinking is the feeling of happy by each individual and the degree of contentment by each person. As long as you have happy , please go for it and you need not make other people happy to be happy. This type of thinking is bullshit and you are wasting your life. No one can judge you and there is no right or wrong way as long you live within the law and do not harm others.
For this thinking, I have to apologize to the mother of the past. We have to change our mind set and let your children live the best way for them. Do not forced them to become " the thing" that they don/t want to be If we study engineering , then we must be an engineer or if we study law, we should be a lawyer. Let them decide for themselves and do the thing they life and we should support them with our unconditioned love. We do not own them, we are only to support them in their decision and they have to be on their own eventually.
Sorry, Mothers..... Papa can be wrong but it is not up to us to say.
Namaste.
