Everyone has their own happiness
We cannot say what a person needs for happiness. But each of us seeks in life and strives for what is especially lacking.
Once, children were asked to draw what they imagine Heaven to be like. The first child drew toys, the second an apple, the third a person with three legs, and the fourth a smiling child in their mother's arms.
It turned out that the first two children grew up in well-off families. The father of the third child had no legs, and the fourth child was a complete orphan. The world without these shortcomings seemed to the children like Heaven.
Who is the most beloved
Sometimes children feel hurt by their parents. They think that they receive less love, and it seems unfair to them. But feelings do not follow equations. They cannot be measured or divided into equal parts.
In a Kyrgyz village, there lived a woman, the mother of ten children. One day, in a conversation with her young daughter-in-law, she said that she tries to love all her children equally. But she cannot do it.
- Why? - the daughter-in-law was surprised.
- After all, they are all your children. Why can't you love them equally?
- Yes, they are equally dear to me, - the mother replied. But my soul is like an "ambulance." It is where it is needed the most. I love all my children, but I worry the most about the weakest one. Do not judge a mother if she cannot divide her heart equally.
