Balancing Love and Firmness

When we love a person, we have a deep feeling of affection, attraction, adoration,

and passion capable of making us committed and selflessly looking out for the

person. It arouses a strong sense of warmth and a need to protect the person. Having

a deep feeling for a person makes it hard to be strict towards them since we

generally do not want to hurt a person we love. But when we are angry, we tend to
lose sight of our love and sometimes act in ways that not only aggravate the issue at

hand but also make us regret hurting the ones we cherish.

However, doing what is right and making sure those around us act accordingly is a

moral responsibility. The way we go about handling these duties of ours determines

what the result looks like. This is where firmness comes in.

Firmness means a state of an object not

been tough and not soft. When a person is

firm, he can stand on his words, take

charge, and be in control. He is not easily
swayed by words or actions of the other

person and ensures he does not get diverted

by other issues before ironing out the one at

hand

Balancing love and firmness is essential,

our loved ones need to act right, and we

have to call them to order when they sway.
To balance love and stability, it is essential to:

Focus on the issue at hand: When a loved one commits an offense or does
something wrong, it is possible to start to compare past matters to the present and

lose focus. This not only prevents one from focusing on the issue at hand but also

makes the person been rebuked feel worse than necessary.
