I always say if you are going to ask me a question be happy with the answer. Even if it is a "no".
Part of being free is giving others their freedom, so if you are going to ask someone a "yes" or "no" question, then expect either one and be happy with the results or rather then tell them what you expect but getting a "no" and being unhappy with it is enslaving that person to your own selfish needs. It is a question after all.
I have two kids and like all parents I have no clue what I am doing to raise them well. I can only try, with the help of my wife, not to fuck them up. It is a difficult task with no proper guidelines and instructions but I do know this; they are not mine. They are meant for the world and by giving them choices that they can manage, from what they would like to wear to what they would like to eat, I am preparing them for a world where if you make a choice you must face the consequences of your actions. Starting small as they are and going big in their choices as they grow. I do not believe in right and wrong but there are consequences to our choices and ultimately, our actions and that should be the focus.
Freedom to choose is all we have and no one should take away another's right to do so.
