@ Linda, thanks for sharing your experience about the poor humiliated boy. It can be hard to watch this sort of thing happen before your very eyes. And yes, our only assurance is that children are more resilient than we realise. We also probably don’t see the times when the opposite happens and the child is shown love and affection, which must happen for the child to still love its mother.

@ Vincent, the butterfly analogy is also a good one. Thanks for pointing it out.

@ Jocelyn, glad you understand how I felt. There is just a fleeting moment when we could have said something, and often the moment passes by and leaves us wondering if we had done the right thing by doing nothing. And often we will never know the answer. Maybe there is no answer.

Yeah, I know how you felt. I also saw a child whose mother I think just pinched her nose til it got really red. I wanted to say something, but before I way able to, they have moved on. I don't know how some mothers can be so rude, maye it was also the way they were treated when they were young. People have lost their sensitivity.

There are situations that we got into thinking that we are helping but actually we are not. I have a post on how one guy actually help to cut a cocoon and allow the butterfly to come out of it easily but he did not realize that he is actually doing more harm instead. He had caused the butterfly to lose the ability to fly and can only crawl on the floor for the rest of it's life. Sometimes we really need to open our eyes wide to be aware of the situation.
