'To your mother and father. Feel free to blame them for everything that's wrong with you, but don't forget to give them credit for everything that's right.'

If you ask me, it is incredibly amazing and expressive. Earlier I sadly experienced that the vast majority of the people have a very bad relationship with parents, mostly because they think their approach for the world is just too obsolete. I am trying to remember to collect some memories from past, both positive and negative as well. It is very easy to notice that people from western and more individualistic cultures have weaker relations in genereal, I mean the distance between parents and sons/daughters is bigger...
