Since I was child , I never doubt my parents are person who love me most in the world , eternally and unconditionally. They make me always believe the world is full of sunshine and love no matter what happen in the life.
The value of parental affection to children lies largely in the fact that it is more reliable than any other affection.
One's friends like one for one's merits, one's lovers for one'scharms; if the merits or the charms diminish, friends and lovers mayvanish. But it is in times of misfortune that parents are most to berelied upon, in illness, and even in disgrace if the parents are of theright sort.
We all feel pleasure when we are admired for our merits, but most of us are sufficiently modest at heart to feel that such admiration is precarious. Our parents love us because we are theirchildren and this is an unalterable fact, so that we feel safer withthem than with anyone else. In times of success this may seemunimportant, but in times of failure it affords a consolation and asecurity not to be found elsewhere.
People are greedy, need more than one kind of loves, from parents, friends, lovers, and so on.
Have a good one.
