We, so often...

cannot understand the actions of our parents vis-à-vis us...

The decisions they may take for us...or their suggestions for a course of action...

Their words of caution, or reprimand, or advice...

Indeed there are times when we feel angry and irritated, and maybe even rebel at what we think is their cramping of our style

We just don't seem to get that at the bottom is their love or maybe fear for us...maybe it is because they can't bear to think we may suffer in some way or other...

I guess what we have to figure out as parents of our children and children of our parents, is a kind of via media...reconcile with what we can and should do, and leave the rest to the power of love...
