Pain of love

Re: Pain of love

Who cares if your mom doesn’t like it. No parent would. Most people don’t like being corrected, they don’t like anyone giving them unsolicited advice. The objective is not to make your mom “like” the unsolicited advice. The objective is not to please your mom. The objective is to plant a seed in her head, to get her thinking even if it isn’t apparent to you. Usually when we are chided or given unsolicited advice that challenges our beliefs, our ego will make us defensive, we may get angry, but it will still make us think about the other person’s words. It makes us question ourselves, our actions and views. And maybe an adult from the family, such as a grandparent or aunt, can talk to your mom in a better way than you. They may word things in a more impactful way or may give a hint to your mom that could wake her up. If you have tried talking to your parents time and again to no avail, then this is the next step. Dua bhi karo aur koshish bhi.
