Dear Shirley:

It is exhilarated when someone we respect says something about us that is positive, isn’t it, like what your teacher said. This is why parents should be very careful about what they say to their young children. Young children look up to their parents as if they were gods.

When you mature, you learn that your parents are far from being gods and you learn to evaluate who the people are who say things about us and take it in as valid, or reject it.

Take care of Buddhist Shirley-
