There are some certain stages in our lives we get to, and we will start to figure out things in a more different way because we have gotten more advanced than what we were before. When we were still young, we saw things like a normal thing because we did not care about what comes out of what the result might be. Then when we get to a certain stage and we see those around us doing well, especially in the aspect of relationships and getting married for those that are due for marriage, we will become bothered and restless about it.
Last night, I was in a conversation with a friend of mine who told me about how her parents have been disturbing her to get married and go to her husband's house. Well, at some point, I will agree with parents because most of these people called parents are growing every day, getting old, and getting closer to their graves, and most of the current generation, which is the Gen Z generation, are not ready and willing to marry because they feel it is of no use. But come to think of it, in another aspect, when we get prepared and get married on time, it gives us the ability to fight for our children and provide for them on time.
This also applies because I remembered when I traveled home sometime last year, my dad called me and asked, When are you coming with my fiancée? And I looked at him and smiled. Deep down within my mind, I was thinking that he does not know what he is saying, but looking at it from another angle, I reasoned with what he said, and I told him that he should not worry, that it's very soon. I will come with one and make him happy.
One of the joys of every parent is that when they give birth to each child, they are also able to provide their own offspring because that is what will keep the lineage going. Children are a prestigious gift from God to every human. This is why some people that have a delay in giving birth find it so hard, or some of them whose children died through some circumstances feel so bad when they see other children. But thinking about this generation and the way some people live their lives, one will want to conclude that these generations are somehow going to cause problems for the coming generations because we are doing things that I feel will harm the coming generations.
Lots of toxic relationships out there are producing children, and one thing we don't care about is that little children tend to sense trouble, especially when it is their parent. Imagine a married couple that fights every day in the presence of their children, and the child sees it every day. One day, at one time, the child will adapt to this pain you are imbibing in him or her. This kind of child will become very toxic to people around them due to their parents. My last word of advice today is that we should always do things so that when our children grow, they will look back and appreciate us and not the other way around.
