In Economics, a most sought after assumption is: “ceteris paribus” – keeping all other things constant. This, many equations are solved.
In real life, however, we can’t keep such an assumption. Many things come into play... and some of them - let’s face it - are beyond us.
We don’t have magic powers. That’s the truth! We can only extend ourselves to the best that we can.
Here’s more...
“Many of us are created to want to solve problems or “fix” everything for those we love. And when we can’t, we become frustrated and impatient... Love doesn’t require that we always have all the answers. Instead, many times love just asks that we listen to the problem, that we try to understand, and that we express our condolences, sympathy, or love.
Sometimes love means just being there for the person we care about – trying to feel what that one is experiencing emotionally, listening and learning her perspective until we start to understand and feel compassion... Love often means simply “living in the moment” with another person.”
