Parents are the only people in the world, who reach out to their children without ego. No matter who is right or wrong, mean or bullied, it doesn't matter. Parents may do wrong things unawares (because nobody can be a perfect parent, it is a learning process), but they do everything for their children wholeheartedly, and feel very pained to know that their child is sad.
It must be something to do with the birthing instinct.
No other person can muster such emotions, only some very wise person can. Whereas parents, they don't need wisdom, they do it out of the urge of parenting.
We cannot experience such a relation with anybody else in adult life.
Which is why they say, parents are really one & only.. (rather, two & only ;-) )
Even if a parent is wrong, I just feel sympathy for them for their mistakes. Because when they are told of their mistakes by their child, they just feel very very very very very very sad. & nothing can replace that feeling of sadness/guilt that they feel.
That is a very precious feeling, because nobody else in our adult life, will ever feel truly sorry for us or sad for us. For everyone else, it is their own selfish ego that comes first.
