Tough love may not be the ideal love everybody expects from us, but it is one of the purest forms of love. It’s the kind of love that doesn’t just comfort—it corrects, guides, and strengthens.
A teacher who pushes her students beyond their limits isn’t being unkind; she believes in their potential. A parent who sets strict rules isn’t being harsh; they want their child to grow with discipline and integrity. Tough love isn’t about making life difficult—it’s about preparing loved ones for the challenges ahead.
Sometimes, love looks like a warm embrace. Other times, it looks like honest words, high expectations, and firm guidance. And that’s okay. Because love, in its purest form, is not about making life easier—it’s about making us better.
So students, kung pinagsabihan or pinagalitan kayo ng teacher, pinarusahan ng magulang, o binigyan ng mahirap na gawain, please know that we are preparing you for your life ahead. That is because we love you and we want the best for you.
