Perhaps you should try and teach your parents the same lesson... (I try and teach my children this... not lead their lives to their projected perception of other eyes... but to be true to themselves but at the same time not hurt others) but I would say "remind" is not an apt word... practise, practise it is practical tool... happiness is also not be all and end all you need sadness too... because without sadness you cannot have happiness and happiness needs to be appreciated... sadness also does not equate to unhappiness... happiness is also not jollyness but more a state of "joie de vivre" in awe of life and the people who consititute our world good AND bad...
