Every parent always prays that their children or offspring should be greater than them in everything they do. And in an actual sense, I feel this is the right thing because even if you as a parent are so rich and well-to-do, you will still pray that your child or children have more than what you have acquired, and you will surely channel that energy into every child you have so long as they are ready to do what you want them to do and not that you are dictating things for them, especially in choosing a career.
It is true they say that a mother will never hear the cry of her daughter and not give a response to it because every mother or every parent owns the right to take care of every child they have and also protect them, but at some point when it gets out of hand and a parent is no longer able to take care of their child or protect them, then the child will have to do this thing by themselves because you have your life to live even without your parents around you. That is why I always tell every growing child that you have work to do even as an entity.
It is not in every case that you will have to wait for our parents to do everything for us because along the line they also might get tired and weak to do most of these things for us; then you have to stand up and fight for yourself, but the sad aspect is when a parent watches his or her child die in their face. This is a big trauma for the parents, and I know most parents pray that this kind of occurrence should never happen to them, and that is why they try their best to make sure they protect their child.
I witnessed an occurrence like this some days ago where the mother of a child stayed with a child in the hospital, and it got to a point she could not hold it anymore, and she had to start calling people to solicit for her in prayers because she was thinking that the life of her child was coming to an end already. I almost burst into tears, and I wondered and looked back to how it would have been for those that have lost their parents or parents that have lost the child at the tender age.
Life, they say, is not a respecter of anyone. When it is time for everyone to leave the world, we all will surely depart and make our way to another world entirely, in which you will know no man and be alone to yourself and leave the cruel. Life, as they say, can be so tormenting, but at some point no one wants to die. Even the animals too. Sometimes when I'm on the roads and I see some animals just strolling around on the way and probably a vehicle is approaching them, you see the way they will run for their lives because they also value it so much.
In all, our life is very important and crucial. It must always be our priority in everything we do, and we must always know that life is worth living so long as you do the right thing at the right time, neglecting the negative energy that might be around you and focusing on what life has got to offer. In the end, we will surely be able to boast and say that I am happy I did it well.
