Don't suffocate them!

Mistakes are part of nature's make up for mankind. It is therefore natural to make mistakes.

However, it's unfortunate how much emotions, warnings, guides, parameters and every kind of protective tactics people can put to guide against it.

Don't get me wrong.

Do I believe in mentorship? Yes

Do I believe in guidance? Yes

And as with everything around me, I believe in discipline, setting boundaries.

However, the bone of contention here is where persons take the protection things too far and in the name of protection, they prevent the person in question from actually living and experiencing life for themselves.

It's ok to want to shield your spouse

It's ok to set preventive rules for your kids

It's ok to give advice to those young or upcoming around you

It's very very okay to be on the lookout because you love and care.

But in all you do, please don't suffocate those around you

Letting a person live his life and gaining experience for themselves is also one true beauty of life.
