What is 'Amae'

I think ‘Amae’ is a lazy action or thinking which depending on others kindness and it’s a custom or notion peculiar to Japanese culture, at the same times. ‘Amae’ needs particular and good relationship between other. Sometimes I feel something bother, for examples, housework, homework, or something to do, so that I ask someone to do for me. I think this action is what I call ‘Amae’ depending on someone. When I say someone to depend on I always remind of my mother. When I was living with my family, I did not do much housework because I knew that my mother would do it even if I did not do that. Now, I’ m living by myself and realize that I was ‘Amaeru’ depending on my mother. As I said peculiar relationship I think that is my family or my close friends or my lover who I can depend on. So I think ‘Amae’ needs particular and good relationship with other likes a stranger, someone can not do ‘Amaeru’ even if someone feels something bother. So I think ‘Amae’ is a lazy action which depending on others kindness.
