Mother's instructions on how to make her last trip

Since childhood, we used to be equal to others. However, we often do not notice the moment when borders are crossed. When you do not understand: it was imposed on you or you really feel and express. And all they're saying is, how to live. How not to lose yourself in such a situation?

Recently, the mother of a friend went to say goodbye to her friend. I didn’t stay long, but I was on the side of the house. Now the situation is that it is better to minimize contacts. And she didn’t want to stand in the cold surrounded by crosses and plates.



Returning, a compassionate mother at a respectable age immediately called her daughter and began to loudly indignant into the phone:

- How is that possible? I don't understand anything at all. There were three granddaughters and two daughters around. And none of them even shed a tear. I want things to be different with me! Like human beings!



My friend was a little upset about that. How could you look at the situation like that, she didn’t understand. Here. adult I think he says that. And the woman she knew said,

- How do you imagine that? Do we have to fight against walls and kneel? You have three grandchildren, all of whom have serious professions. They won’t be tearing themselves out. Everyone's gonna be worried. That's how they are!



- How come? her mother replied. - I want things to be different. That's right! What do people say?

Here the acquaintance could not stand and laughed. And I understand her perfectly. There are many people of all ages who still care about public opinion. Personally, it even reminds me a bit of “star disease”: who is looking at you, who needs you?



And always "please" these dashing weddings: ransoms, a tomato, two hot and a bottle of vodka per person, a loan and squeezing the last money from the family budget. However, very often such things are not clear to whom and for what. Young people could go to France for a month with this money. That would be an unforgettable experience!



But no, again, this is the proverbial “everything like people.” How can we not learn to live for ourselves? The same thing year after year.
