The Evolution of Confusion Curious Whether and How

Two curious questions: Whether? How? We don't know whether something will happen, but we can choose how we will respond. When they were young, I recall having struggled with the idea of whether it's healthier to shelter my own children, or to discuss some of the many controversial issues. Though children may not be going through a particular problem personally, perhaps they know someone who is. Are some subjects too sensitive to discuss? Our children may be begging for discussion ...sometimes not. Sometimes it's difficult to put into words how one feels. We certainly need to give others our understanding ...and sometimes that requires discussion, while others may only be seeking silent support. In either case, it's called 'love'. And what everyone needs foremost ...is love.
