We were taking our children to a resort. The children loved swimming, and I figured it was a good time to have them appreciate what we were doing for them. So I tried to needle some nice feedback.
“Are you happy?” I asked my eldest kid, who is now 11.
“yes, ” he answered.
“Why?” I asked, expecting him to say he was happy because we brought them to the place.
He thought sometime about it, and asked back, “Dad, why? Do I need a reason?”
On second thought, he was right. Maybe us grownups seemed jaded to think we should have a reason for everything.

[...] We, the parent are the role models of our kids. Just like being the boss, we try to portray the epitome of capability and … perfection. We want to show them that we are competent, and knows a lot of things. But a perfect parent, just like a perfect boss , can be unbearable. [...]

hi, hapines as many others is a feeling like many others,
and we as grown adults must be capable of educating our feelings,as an example you must not love somebody that make you suffer conciously but knows how to make you smile, you can like a job partner for its personality but if he is a back stabber you should not love him and so on, as love hate and other feelings hapiness is a feeling too, and we must be able to educate ourselves to feel whats better for us under the circumstances, thats what maturity is about , the power of choice.
