Words from my mother. She is right.


That's just an advice.
It doesn't mean it's an universal truth.

If you love anyone more than yourself you'll suffer.

If I had to pick my child's life, or mine, which would I choose?
My child's of course.
And I'd "suffer" none.
On the other hand, if I had chose my life over my child's, I'd suffer until my last breath.
Is that just me?


It's really a silly comparison.

So, if there was a gun to you and your husbands head and someone had to get shot and you had to make the choice, who would it be?

You're saying that because your children are young and they still need you.
Wait until they're old enough to get out there and leave you behind.
You'll change your mind.

Anyway, if advice was good people would charge for it.
Since it's for free, we get what we want/need and we throw the rest away.


No, pp, it is not just you.

That's what makes The United States of America one of the best places: we have the freedom to use what works for us, and ignore the rest.

Also thank you Pixar for 'just keep swimming.' true advice, and I can't help but smile picturing that fish.

I love myself, my children, and my husband equally. The only difference is the shade of grey.
