PARENTAL DREAMS (part-1)
Even
when the children are very small,the parents begin to nurture dreams about
them. And as children grow into adults,the parents demand that they live up to
their dreams.This is not fair. The parents should be ready to let go of the dreams
and goals that are theirs but not their children’s. Letting go creates space
for relationships to change and mature. Letting go allows the parents to cast
off negative thought patterns, becoming open to new and creative ways of
relating.
Some people perceive letting go as passive
and weak behaviour. They’ve never tried it ! It is in fact a bold step taken in
the interest of the children.In letting go, the parents eloquently enumerate their
beliefs- they recognise that God is
active in all their lives. They make an act of absolute faith and trust in God.
They move from the parent-child relationship to an adult-adult relationship.
