We spend a good part of our day trying to make everyone happy and unfortunately despite our trying and trying again there are always a few who have a whole lot of nasty things to say about us. And then we feel sad and stressed, "oh, why did so and so say this about me? What did I do? Why is he/she not happy with me blah, blah, blah". We cant make everyone happy. We try but we fail. And then we learn not to spend all our energies doing something which is not going to happen. Just do your bit according to your values, expertise and let the world be..
For me meeting one child means connections with - mother, father, sister, brother, friends, teachers, aunts, uncles and in some cases "didi" - so if I falter and not do what ONE person out of the lot wants, too bad. Its the child that is my priority not his/her extensions. Yes I will give a fair hearing to all but do what is best for the child.
If someone wants to rile and rant, ignore. Conserve your energies for the bigger issues in life..as long as you know you are doing your best, all is well!!
Carry on..
