I received a very thought provoking wapp message today. It talked about the Google Maps. The message argued that the g-maps app never is irritated with us nor yells at us when we go wrong despite the route it so clearly dictates. Instead, it re-directs us to a better alternative in the given context so that we get back to the best route yet again.
The message suggested that thus should be our relationship with our family, that is, our near and dear ones, as well as with our teammates, especially our juniors, our students in case of lecturers, et al. Indeed true!
Our goal is to reach the destination, not fret over the minor mishaps on the road. Actually, all the major accidents at present anyways seem minor mishaps n the long run. The stress hence should be on the supportive structures.
I feel very happy when I think of Aai-Papa in this context. As and when life was cruel, they never screamed at us, nor was there much of a blame game. Instead, we were generously told to get on with life, with clarification regarding the better way. No wonder, it is said a child's best friends ever are the parents!
