00:00The mother should never say, I love you so much because you've got the gold medal in athletics.
00:06Love is a thing of the heart. It cannot be allowed to depend on a worldly event.
00:13The kid may or may not have come first in the race.
00:17So is the mother implying that the silver medal would have meant less love for the kid?
00:23The mother does not know because the mother herself is quite ignorant.
00:27She has told the kid that love is dependent on gold.
00:32So now the kid is being told, you get the gold medal and I'll give you a special hug and
00:37a special dress or a new bicycle.
00:41And the mother thinks that all this is motherly and loving.
00:45Not motherly, not loving. This is toxic.
00:49Certain things are absolutes and they must remain absolute.
00:53If I love you, I love you. That's not conditional.
00:57Obviously, I want you to do well in athletics and in academics and in all other areas.
01:01But I will not say that, you know, I love you only if you earn so much or your grades
01:08exceed this mark.
01:09I love you. I love you.
