‘Looking at me now,
I can see my past Damn, I look just like my f***in' Dad’ – Lil Wayne
Life is not
perfect, and we grow into one with flaws created by those who created us.
It’s natural to
resent the people that created the world we sometimes come to hate, why did you
make me do that? Why did you stop me from doing that? Why were you like that?
It’s You that made
me like this.
They say the apple doesn’t
fall from the tree. The psychology of parenting is an art that can never be
perfected.
How many of us
think to ourselves when it’s me I’m never going to do what they did? Or we wish
we never turn into what they were?
But how many of us
are willing to except that we have made the same mistakes? And that maybe we
are the people we swore we would never be?
It is easy to
see ourselves not for what we are, and for what we do. It is easy to fall in to the
trap of becoming what we say we do not want to be, because we are blinded by
our resentment of our successor that we subconsciously achieve mirroring their behaviour.
We become our worst
enemy, unless we learn to forgive them for what they did that was wrong, and accept that they did so without the intention to hurt us.
We cannot be in
denial, we cannot feel superior, we must be open to accepting that we are also susceptible
to mistakes and we can fail too. Our parents were as human as us, and they had
parents as human as them.
No one was brought into the perfect world,
knowing how to be the perfect person.
Live and learn, and
learn to love.
