PSA: If you see a single, divorced, widowed man or woman of any age - suppress your urge to suggest marriage, unless you’re the one proposing.
If they want and find someone, they’ll marry without your encouragement.
Ap parayshan na houn.

Also for children. Let a couple decide how many children they want or if they even want any. If you’re not going to carry it in your belly, deliver it, nurse it, change pampers and put them through school etc etc etc - hold your excitement.
Another thing; when you meet young children, there are no prizes for starting to dissect their looks and guess who they look like most.
Or comment on their weight, height and physical attributes.
Don’t ask them if they remember you when the last time they saw you was at birth.

Lastly, resist the urge to tell grieving family members “koi behtari ho gi” on the qul. No. Just don’t. This is no way to condole.
It is extremely demeaning to discredit another person’s experience because yours is different.
You can have every right to speak about it but don’t super impose it on others in a way to imply that what they’re saying is not possible.

If you have more power over another - whatever its degree may be - you lose any liberty to be petty and vindictive.
With privilege comes responsibility. It is a duty then to be the bigger person whether you want to or not.

Never let anyone who has zero stakes in the consequences of your decision influence you to go against your instinct. Never.

For mums of young kids:
If your & your child’s eating schedule’s overlapping, eat yourself FIRST.
My Nama used to say this; quite revolutionary if you think all the advice mothers get is selfsacrificing. Children are slower at eating & you’ll be more patient if you’re not hungry.

It’s incredible how as a human one has the capacity to feel so happy when something good happens to/with another, even if you are in no way directly connected to it.
Just feel genuine happiness looking at someone being happy or something good happening to them.
What a blessing.
