One of the toughest part of growing up in this world as a human is that everything is a choice.
Believe it or not living like this exposes us to more pain, because then you never can tell what is at the bottom of the jar you picked.
Half the time it is chaos.
Nobody tells you, and even when they do, your hunger to satisfy your bowel of choice is stronger. So you listen to pain instead.
We don't realize that parents are gifts. God made a perfect structure, you didn't just fall from the sky because then you'd be clueless about what you are supposed to be.
Parents are the direction pointers. They have been down that road and they know how the story ends, so listen to them.
Even God said to obey our parents in the Lord. This is because most of the times they know what God wants to tell us. And when we fail to listen, we frustrate the manifestation of the word of God in our lives.
Parents are the first point of contact a child gets, and that determines the way that child will see life, and act in the society.
One of the keys to a successful society lies in the hands of good parenting and for some of us the relationship between us and our parents is one we could have been happier without.
Atleast now, we know what parenting isn't. We have a lot of learning and unlearning to do, a lot of intentionality is required. To improve the state of our society, we have to first be better parents.
