unforgivable dad

When a child is born in to the world, it is a great joy to the parent, the family and the community. the birth signals continuity, a never ending circle of birth and rebirth, a promise that a lineage will not abruptly close, a endorsement to the parents as procreators. How did you feel the first time you see your new born ?. Wow, the feeling is like been high on happiness, euphoria, an elation that is indescribable.. well to put it simply, you are over joyed. You are enveloped by a joy that makes you vow inside you to love unconditionally to love this bundle of joy till your last breath, to give your life for him, to suffer shame, endure any challenge, to do anything for his progress and success in life.

Well in every culture and religion, children are rightly viewed as a gift from the maker, and a blessing and they are cherished. Parents who are rich find pleasure in providing a stress free life to their children, while those who are not materially endowed find no shame in selling even there best cloths to give their children, the best. How do you see your own parent? Do you have a rich one who provides you with all your needs?. or do you have parents who have less and struggled to give you the best of life?. The truth is that regardless of position or financial situation parents find themselves, they deliver love to their children. Well it is believed and expected that children are to reciprocate the love showered to them in later years. They are an investment in love, kindness, patience, longsuffering and parents wishes to recoup an equal and exact dividend of their efforts. Irrespective, of the waywardness of a parent as the case may be of some parents who may reject, refuse to devote their resources, love, kindness, patience and long suffering for their children, yet the parents still deserve considerations in giving them deserved honor and respect as they caused their existence and birth.

Sad to say that most parents instead of reaping bountifully in terms of the dividends of their investments in love, kindness, patience and more, they reap only sorrows and pains. It is a sad situation. It is very common seeing parents being verbally abused and insulted by their children. It is equally a common sight in various communities, towns, and cities seeing parents been beaten and flogged by their children. It is a heartrending situation. No parents wished to experience this, as it is a betrayal that is not easy to endure, forgive or forgotten. What on earth will push a child to this level of debasement? Do a child contemplating to abuse a parent understand the magnitude of aftereffect of such a cause?. I believe that not understanding the enormity of an action is one reason behind some reckless youthful behaviors. life is filled with phenomena which can be termed as cause and effect, negative and positive. It all depicts the natural truth that one reaps what he sows. The abuse, flogging and beating of a parent has a repercussions that are not palatable.

To buttress, when i was very young boy growing up in the village, i do witness the agony of very advanced man who just retired from the city to the village. The man is a very happy, jolly old man that likes to dress well in a city style. Because he lived most of his life in the city, can speak fairly good English language. This translates to him a thing of pride and joy for him as he intimidates any of his contemporary who can barely understand his show of English language. Every market day and on a Sunday he normally appears immaculate with his neat attire, looking different from other men in the village. He love to be on suit with a tie to match and good pair of high heeled sole shoe. Well, i love the man one he always looks good and tells us young ones stories about city life. Being a jolly man he asked to be called the sugar daddy. Being the sugar daddy as a result of his sweet jovial nature, not of being amorous with younger woman. The whole joy and happy retirement bliss that this man was enjoying was cut short by his son who decides to light up all his nice cloth with fire and afterwards gave the man a great beating of his life. This sad habit of pummeling his father continues and on each occasion the man will tell him that your child will pay you back what ever you are doing to me. So sad, sometimes i do cry seeing my lovely sugar daddy been dragged and fed with sand by a son that he bore and raised up. It is an abominable act. But wait oo, what might be pushing the son into this madness. The story was that this my sugar daddy was disrespectful to his own father though never beats or flogs his own father, and his father will always assure him that he will be disrespected by his children.

Truly, it is an abomination to insult, abuse or beat ones own parent, being it under the influence of any substance be it alcohol or drugs. because their will be a repercussion. Whether the father forgives as a result of the undying love parents always have for the children or not the fear is that their is always a repercussion and it seems that the dad is unforgiven.
