Saturday, March 08, 2008 of mothers, fathers and elder sisters

what is common about mothers is the fact that they 觜硬心软，appearing cold but in fact all they need is a little attention to make them happy. and some may even need any form of opposition to know that: yes, whatever they have said has been registered by you. the thing about stay-at-home mums is that they face an empty house most of the time and that makes them lonely beings who really need our love and concern. they have done a lot but they do not receive the attention they hope for and should get. it's like how you slog so hard for a project and yet do not get the effort recognised. or how you study so hard everyday, yet get terrible results. they would love to see you happy and well-rested, well-fed, as an indicator of good health. their love and concern is boundless. they need the little attention, every little attention you can give. even just going out to buy things with her, having a meal with her, helping her get little things, just being home matters a lot.

fathers are curious people. humorous and they try to lead the group, whether by initiating conversation, despite that what they observe and say may be rather different from what you (young people) would consider. they can be silent at the back or the front, but they give you reassurance and accept whatever you try to do or have done, believing that you have your reasons and it is well-considered. maybe some more extreme things would attract their greater attention. a little smile/laugh from them makes you reassured and comfortable. they just exude honesty.

elder sisters are great people. they would perhaps intuitively lead the conversations, try to make you comfortable, whether through humour or little things like asking you how you feel, or even little honest comments that tells you that they understand how you may be feeling and makes you relaxed. the immense amount of comfort you get from having an elder sister around you is just overwhelming. they say that they are just kaypo but that is definitely not the whole story. just by saying that, they are humble people and they connect very well to others by appearing more down-to-earth and the fact that they chide themselves tells you that you can say anything and they won't be offended so just relax. and that itself tells you that they really care a lot about you little siblings.

thank you very much for the experience.
