Children should live with their parents until the time that it is no longer best for the whole of the family. You are 100% correct when you mention that this process has been perverted by those who control us. Why would a kid enter the world and waste good money after bad on housing, and everything that goes along with it, if the situation at home is comfortable and charitable for all involved. My kid has no inhibitors and he is welcome to stay for as long as needed for him to comfortably enter the world away. Family is the single most important gift in this world. Including non-immediate families created of love. There is no timeline. In fact, as time is fleeting, the more time you have to spend with your parents and children, the more opportunity you have to appreciate this gift. Pitch in, help out and never take it for granted, and everyone wins.
If it helps, my 82 year old dad works construction with me every day with me in the hot Texas sun. He is a beast, up on ladders, lifting beans etc, and on occasion he will experience exactly what you describe. Only recommendation is more h2o. He goes back to beast mode in the ensuing days.
Well said friend. Kind of mirrors me and my thoughts. I build patio improvements and pool enclosures mostly with aluminum. My dad (now 82) has worked with me every day for many years since his retirement, and now my son is also learning the trade before he goes and does whatever he decides to go and do. I am indeed thankful every single day. I am truly blessed.
I have no doubt that you understand. Waking up every day, with little concern for clocks, to go do something that you love to do is a remarkable thing. When I started, my kid was inside of his mom, he is now twenty-four. Twenty-four years of building something special by improving others lives with a product that I believe in is far more than I would have ever asked for, but I'm sure that you also understand that nothing was given. It all had to be earned. That is really the crux of my understanding the pride thing. I (also not religious by definition more so by behavior) earned it by years of dedication to my work. Ownership and pride seem to naturally lend themselves to serving others in the best way possible.
Maybe what I take away from your point is that pride in one's work differs from pride in one's self, provided that pride is also humbly wrapped in gratitude. I can accept that.
The secret service men around him are either complicit, or as fake as he is, and I doubt he ever knew anyone who put their life on the line.
