Human being... So easy to let little things climb in irreversible conflict. And some times so hard to succeed taking conscience of that, above all in the action. Even if in most of the cases every one have his part of guilty, always better to keep calm and try to defuse the situation... The first who can.
Life can be a succession of wonderfull moments, with others less, right, but I definitivly don't understand how we can let us embark in upset situations, that ones which make see the life as trouble and with hatly for others. More than hurting others, we also keep us in a bad mind state...
Had the chance one day to read a book from a contempory mexican chaman, writing about our conscious, and brain creations. First idea was that we need to don't take personnaly the bad things, even if it seem's be personnal, we also can take distance with problems, to see them under their true face : successions of bad feelings, sad mind pass, and ambiente agravation, puting us act without conscience of all. Above all in small things in road the be big deals, like get angree against your wife because she is in a hurry, where above all the combinacion of the lose of your materiel, more others geting in an apparent 'big trouble'. In reality, like you said, material and money isn't so important, anyway no such as your couple if you went to make a family together...
This kind of philosophy helped me to to understand my self and the others, and try to keep cool (a come back cool as soon as possible) in this situations. Sure it's can be difficult, but it seems you are both in a good way to success to have a peacefull life. Anyway, beautifuly writed and such a good idea to share it to grow the collective conscience.
Now to be honest, like you said it's difficult (make me finish on an other way... less peaceful...) but we have too, I have to explain my opinion of a detail of your story : the place.. I totaly agree that making children discover animals is a greatfull thing, but the way we do, puting them in cages for our pleasure seems to me bad consideration... I know there is no other way to see camels salvages in your country... But maybe your daughter will traveling for Afrika one day, see them in their natural place, isn't better than condone closing them for life ?
Done. Thanks for reading me, and again for sharing this piece of life. Wish you a beautifull family life and good continuation here on steemit, seems going well 😉A little picture in the them to close it "Together on a Flower":
