For the survival of human species, God created the mothers with qualities like kindness, empathy, forgiveness and above all less ego. If our mothers were to take offence with our tantrums, rebellion, insults and humiliation and decided to punish us without giving us food or safety, human generations would have very low chances of survival.
I realised this today as I was having an argument with my now young adult son. From teenage years he has been putting up some airs about him. Always resisting any idea or insight offered to him, belittling it by saying my generation does not understand their needs and values. This is a constant and we have disagreements ending in deciding not to have any further conversations. Yet, the next minute I appear on his room door with his breakfast or some eatables that I think are his favourite.
Then I also realised, it is not just him. I too have been the same with my mom. Always resisting, fighting and putting her down and her ideas and opinions as outdated and yet she continued the caring and loving act. That is what made me to think, that it is inborn. It is put in there with a purpose by the creator for the survival of our species!
However, if both mothers and children were to understand that they need each other and the going can be smooth by offering some kind words and understanding rather than resistance and fighting, life can be much more beautiful and fun. What do you think?
