Other Side Of Parents Love

Mohsin Kamal 

Ayoung boy when grows up a little, first aims to settle his life by finding some good work according to his desires. After successfully finding one, he then want to enter second half of his life by bonding himself with his life partner. After entering the second half, a boy turns into a man and sooner a father. Becoming father takes a turn over in his life, now he performs everything for his children. He puts his own dreams on the shoulders of his children and wants them to succeed in life. So that he can live the last stage (old age) of his life happily and leave the world with satisfaction.
This is how most of us want the life to run as. But everybody can’t be so lucky or I may say deserving to live the life according to his desires.
I,in my everyday life come across a lot of things- some good and some bad. Recently I witnessed a series of strange events;
A father who works his blood out- day, night, morning, evening just to make life comfortable for him and his family. He somehow succeeds in doing so.
But the only things which break him and have become the reason of his insomnia are his CHILDREN.
Though young and energetic,yet father of three already. All boys and school going- one 14, second 12 and younger 9 years of age. They are being provided with all the necessary things, well drafted environment and have been assigned just one work of studying.
Like every father, he too is dreaming to see his children shine and make him proud. He works tirelessly to make sure his children get all the facilities and needed equipments.
Children inturn are completely opposite- always busy in doing inappropriate things like destroying things around, doesn’t go school uniformly, never self study, want things not useful to them and many more. Relatives try to teach, people rebuke, parents taunt but this doesn’t bother them at all.
The father who is over energetic and of hot temper sometimes gets frustrated from their unruly behavior and punishes them, such ways that the viewer would want to close all his senses and drag himself inside the earth.
Till next day, the kids remain in anger and would not eat or talk well but very next day everything seems normal and fine.
Father too would forget it the other day and love them as he did before. After sometime, he would again get angry due to their unending unbearable behavior and would slash at them again. The drama continues and both father and kids keep repeating the things.
In latest of such incidents, this time father punishes the elder one in a way that whenever I think of it, my body starts shivering.
During that incident, I witnessed four faces;
One of the kid who was crying his soul out,
Second of his father who was completely out of control,
Third of his mother who was cracked inside but wasn’t even trying to stop him knowing the reasons behind it,
Fourth of the few people around who were trying their best to save that kid.
After completion of this incident, I had a conversation with both father and the kid; I asked that kid, “Why you do this? Why you keep repeating the mistakes and face these types of torchers?”
He smiled and replied, “I seriously don’t know!” I tried my best to make him understand that he should learn and not do anything wrong in future. Then later, I talked to his father and tried to convince him that the behavior he is adopting to treat his kids is completely wrong but in returntried to prove himself right by doing this.
At last, I found myself helpless because I failed to convince both of them. Being an observer I was just able to pen down this incident, I could do nothing beyond it.
These things are very common in our society-Parents trying their best to provide kids with good things and kids in return make wrong use of it. Who’s responsible Parents, Children or the new age?
Combination of all, Parents provide facilities but not love and care needed.
Children get carried away and and get attracted to wrong things.
Current age is undoubtedly too much forward and developed but due to wordly greedness parents want to make their kidscash rich but not humans.
We need to teach our young age humanity and provide them the education that can make them humans but not the money prone machines.
