We need to be mindful parents
While many chase a "perfect" life, they do not anticipate the pressure that comes with it, and are mentally ill-equipped to deal with the psychological stress. Those that do not see a way out end up taking their own lives as a means to the end. Our mind is a judging machine. When we experience something, usually our mind automatically thinks it's good, or bad. If the experience is pleasant, our mind hangs on to that feeling, and we want more of it. If the experience is unpleasant, we will try to hide, resist, and escape. And all other feelings are judged as "neutral", so we tend to forget it. There's nothing wrong with these judgments. It's natural for the mind to judge. Sometimes, these judgments are helpful. They can help us to understand why we like to do certain things, and why something makes us upset.

Sometimes too much of a good thing is not … [Read more...] about We need to be mindful parents

Young volunteers visit the Thị Nghè Nursing Home for seniors in HCM City. — VNA/VNS Photo Hồng Giang HCM CITY — The private sector has an opportunity to build geriatric care facilities that provide good care for elderly people, given rising demand for such services, HCM City officials say.
