Sad to say, everything occurred to me, he said. That’s all that happened to me: “I joined a g:a:ng, I smoked, I drank, I slept with women, I abandoned three pregnant women, I stole, I beat people, I spent seven times in ja:i:l, my kids are a mess and don’t want me, I didn’t want to live this life anymore, and now I’m pleading for food and drink”.

I lowered my head and said,

“How tragic!” He retorted, grinning, “I already have food for today, take care of yourself!”

He then walked away nervously and unsteadily.

I asked myself on the drive home why our lives had turned out differently if we had the same circumstances and possibilities as kids, and I also gave my response. His present was different from mine because MY PARENTS were there!

Indeed, I had the “worst” father and mother in the entire world! I had rules and schedules, along with consequences if I didn’t complete tasks by the deadline, whereas they let him run about the street playing and doing whatever came to mind. He wasn’t disciplined if he skipped school, but I was whether I was just late or missed school altogether… He was permitted to speak poorly of the old, smoke, and eat whatever he wanted in town!

I was forced to eat vegetable soup or a lengthy chicken-cutlery soup while drinking milk and water. drinking or smoking?

I was afraid to even bring up the subject!

Using poor language or retorting in the wrong way? A slap on the back of the mouth and a cut look! Mom and Dad, I appreciate you both!

It’s not him today; it’s me since I had the worst mother and father in the entire world!

Today, I give thanks to God for giving me those loving and strict parents. I appreciate you, my dear parents, and I will always carry you in my heart. Therefore, I insisted!

HOW CAN WE CHANGE THIS BREAKING WORLD? “EDUCATE THE CHILD”
