Parental affection

(2007-06-04 11:50:02) 下一个
Since I was child , I never doubt my parents are  person who love me most in the world , eternally and unconditionally. They make me always believe the world is full of sunshine and love no matter what happen in the life.

The value of parental affection to children lies largely in the fact that it is more reliable than any other affection.
One's friends like one for one's merits, one's lovers for one'scharms; if the merits or the charms diminish, friends and lovers mayvanish. But it is in times of misfortune that parents are most to berelied upon, in illness, and even in disgrace if the parents are of theright sort.

We all feel pleasure when we are admired for our merits, but most of us are sufficiently modest at heart to feel that such admiration is precarious. Our parents love us because we are theirchildren and this is an unalterable fact, so that we feel safer withthem than with anyone else. In times of success this may seemunimportant, but in times of failure it affords a consolation and asecurity not to be found elsewhere.

nicelks 回复 悄悄话 nothing is greater than parent's love. They can even sacrifice everything for the children. Children eat the best food before they eat the remaining. If they are sick, parents feel the pain, friends at most give you the consolation wording and hug, but not pain.

Loft 回复 悄悄话 Melly, I can't agree with you more:-) Friendships are built not only upon merits but also similar experience, spiritual resonances and so forth. Even though I am not very closer to all relatives, sometimes I still have to admit that blood is thicker than water.don't you think so?
melly 回复 悄悄话 Parental love is unconditinal and encouraging. Love from parents also serves as a harbor to comfort us especially when we are tired of managing to reach our goals for life. Friendship is built not only upon merits but also similar experiences, the temperament one desires, mutual understanding spiritually, etc. Unfortunately, like you mentioned here, friends walk in and out of one's life for some reasons,while parents are always there. That is why parental love is called unconditional one.

People are greedy, need more than one kind of loves, from parents, friends, lovers, and so on.

Have a good one.
