AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why do always younger siblings get advantage like they first preference to them only for eg if we fight for a pen the adults will say give it to the younger one, it’s very irritating when this happens . Even when the younger does terrible craft ( mostly ) when we say bad to it the younger starts crying and I get scolded and the vise versa happens the adult says you can do better. Even when the younger lies and and I say the truth, but still the elders will give it to her, saying that she will small you give it to her. For example, it happens for a pen which I bought. Younger will say it’s mine lying and the alders give it to her saying you are big let it go. Always it is irritating😡

But it is done so that the elder learns to give and get the joy of giving whereas the younger develops natural respect towards the elder. In fact always the greater must give to the lesser. This is the law of life. Besides if one gives then creation works towards giving us more and more. So you see the giver is always the long term gainer.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
