Since we are members of a family,
we are not free to do anything we like. We may not be able to go as far
from home as we would like. We may have to get up earlier in the
morning than we would like. We may have only limited use of the car.
Families set up limits in order
to maintain order and happiness. If each of us demanded something
different for supper each night, the situation would be unmanageable.
Limits also keep us safe. When
Peter Rabbit was told not to go into Mr. McGregor's garden, it was for
his own good.
Limits and restrictions are a
form of love and protection, and we all have them.
When we bump up against one of
these limits, we can be assured they serve to point us in another
direction, one with freedoms of its own which we may never have
explored without being forced to. |
