A child has to be prepared to face that world in which they will have to be living in. There is no use to mollycoddle them as the outside world won’t do that either , rather without pity will put them to the test . If it is cold outside and there is a lot of mud , I have to get them ready to put on heavy boots even if they will give them blisters on their feet , it will be more uncomfortable to walk in them than in a pair of thongs . “

We don’t have to conquer but convince the other. We should not stop them, but get them on our side patiently, humbly : If I represent a true cause then I have to present it , compose my arguments convincingly so that the other person may stand by my side . If I cannot convince them then I may not be right or else I cannot compose , represent my values, worth well. I should be open maybe they are right , or pay attention , what is not clear or easily “digestible” in my views . I can see it among the children as well how they like to pick a fight , one of three straight away wants to become the boss . Adults straight away want to push their views onto others and direct the others. Very -very humbly we should look into our hearts, am I really standing up for the truth or am I only trying to or bowl over the other. When ever we have a fierce argument in most cases what is the most important thing is , who rules the roost !
