It is very hard to keep balance between what you think is good and what they think is good for them. Sometimes you just have to let them make their mistakes which is the only way to learn when they don't understand your view. <BR/>I think that parents in general will do the best they can (although it is not always the best) Love marjaMarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458942200244031009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778447007242415497.post-151401795780602732008-12-16T10:15:00.003-08:002008-12-16T10:15:00.003-08:00@mou:Yes, blessed are those whose Parents understa...@mou:Yes, blessed are those whose Parents understand and nurture their child !!

Frankly saying that thought just entered my mind and had stayed there sub consciously without me ever questioning it relevance. Yet when i did think about it, since u asked, its because, you can be anything inside yourself , but its what my actions which says what Iam. For eg,i can feel pity on someone or would like to stop crime and injustices inside myself, but if my actions contradict that, like not doing anything when something wrong is being done, or just remain a bystander, then ur actions contradict ur beliefs.,. <BR/><BR/>Hence, its what the action which in turn defines your self. And yes, i do agree that Your actions are motivated by what you believe, but you are defined by your actions.
