a mother's love...

I'm used to keeping it to myself, but only when I got older that I believe I'm closer to my mom. Mothers will always be the emotional pillar of the family members. No wonder that many would agree with me, when children got something in mind, they approach their mothers more than their fathers. Plus, it's always been proven that a mother's love is unconditional -- like Jesus and Mother Mary. But to what extent that does a mother's love have to be revealed to their children?

Days ago, it's all in the news that a certain person named Jason Ivler was being arrested for a double murder case said to be committed out of traffic issues. He was being searched for months already but nowhere to be found. His mother, Marlene Aguilar [sister of famous singer - Freddie Aguilar], kept insisting that his son is not with her. But just days ago, it was found out that her son was just hiding in her house in Blue Ridge Subdivision. And instead of cooperating with the police authorities, her son kept fighting by shooting the NBI officials. And at present, she kept saying she believes her son is innocent of the crimes accused to Jason Ivler.

True enough, anybody is considered innocent until proven guilty by law or proper judgment. But c'mon, loving someone doesn't mean that his mistakes have to be tolerated in a way. In love or relationships, we should accept and embrace a person's imperfections. But, there is also such a thing as rules and regulations we abide as citizens. We are responsible to those. As human beings as well, we have to deal with our neighbors properly and respect. Not by hurting or killing them. The fact that Jason killed not once "but twice" [in the mala-Susan Roces angry tone...haha], he has to suffer the consequence of his actions. I completely understand it hurts that her son will soon separate from her in the prison cell, but imagine the two families who lost a loved one, they can never hug their dead loved ones in the grave anymore.

To the moms out there, I understand your sentiments. I've never been a mom yet so this shouldn't come from me. Sincerely, I appreciate your love for your children, no questions about it. But if you really love your children, you have to give them wings to fly. Giving them the wings to fly would mean making them realize that doing good would reap them blessings and doing mistakes or crimes would result to consequences they have to learn. In loving, we really have to get hurt.

In short, do love your children, don't spoil them. Why? When the mothers die, what will happen to them next if the children depend so much on you?...
