A Mother's Wisdom

Armida was ten when she found her first real friend among the girls in school. Their friendship became all too important to Armida
and being an obsessive nature, she found herself jealous of her friend's interest which did not include her. She could not conceal this attitude
of hers. This made Amanda, her best friend, drift away from Armida. Armida's sadness did not escape the keen intuition of her mother,
Armida's mother understood what was happening. She waited for an appropriate occasion to talk to her daughter about it without hurting
her.
One day, Armida and her mother were admiring some newly hatched chicks. Armida picked up one and held it tightly that it almost
smothered. It struggled to escape from Armida's hold. Casually her mother said, "If you hold a chick too tightly, it wants only to get away.
Try holding one gently. The next chick nestled peacefully in Armida's open palm. Her mother said, "You know dear, people are the same
as chicks. If we hold those whom we love too closely to us, they will struggle for freedom. Hold them with open hands and they won't feel
smothered or suffocated. Armida understood the message in her mother's words. Whenever she felt jealous of her friend's attention to
others, she always pictured the contented chick nestled once in her open palm.
