Do you think you have the right?

Re: Do you think you have the right?

Dude RV made me tear up : D

If a kid, seated on a horse in a merry-go-round wants to touch the golden pole you've gotta let em, even if you know they'll fall. J.D Salinger is wise.

Of course this does not apply if as RV said, it will infringe upon the rights and wellbeing of others. People are made up of the mistakes they make. How else does one learn?

Re: Do you think you have the right?

You made a mistake or several mistakes. Let's take 'mistake' to be subjective. If you are here, it probably means you have 'forgiven' yourself, given yourself leeway to learn from experience, and moved on to maturity.

Do you have the right to STOP your kids from making the same mistake or punish them if they do?

Or do you think they have the same right to make their own mistake and learn as you did and that your right stops at advice?

i think tht u have to teach the child whtz wrng and right and after they make the mistake than u should tell them tht its wrong. but if they kid did make the mistake give him or her the opportunity to learn frm it too

Then the one who lets the child knowingly fall, is at fault and be punished. Not a wise advice.

Pal that line is not meant to be taken literally, it has deeper meaning. I'll let you figure it out yourself though.

My dear, I used the word 'punishment' for a reason. I'll let you figure that out though. Don't take my statement literally either.

Re: Do you think you have the right?

Yeah, they do have a right but they should also bear in mind that every person is different and something that did not work for them (eg marrying a divorcee) might not necessarily pose a problem/be a mistake for their kids..

Is this the part where I use the winking emoticon to be just as condescending as thee dear? Well, so be it

I think you and I are talking about different mistakes, in the ones I speak of no one is responsible for the mistake other than the mistake-doer in regards to situations where people typically hold onto the hands of others for fear of falling.

No worries, my avatar is enough even if I do not use emoticon.

Regardless of what the mistakes are, the basic concept of letting someone knowingly fall is wrong. I bolded your earlier post for a reason too.

What I am saying is yes there is a responsible party in any mistake if there is a deliberate attempt to do ‘mistake’ or someone knowingly let someone commit a mistake/wrong-doing. The term mistake then becomes a ‘fault’.

Nuff said and clearly said. Not gonna dwell on it further.
