Opinion: For how long will you continue to blame your parents? | Isah Bala
One of the thing I found difficult to discern amongst youths who refuse to defied odds and change their story is the constant berating of their parents, lamenting almost every minute how their parents are the cause of their wretched lives.
One cannot deny the fact that parents are supposed to be up and doing, give their children ideal upbringing and set the children for their lives by making them to know God, have education and others.
Howbeit, either as a result of the fall of family institution or poverty, some parents failed to perform their duties. They become handicapped to the point that they can't even afford one square meal a day talk more of sending their wards to school while some waste their lives on alcohol and gambling to the point that children's welfare is handled with kit glove.
Many children grew up through this unfortunate state, they grew up with neither education nor ideal moral upbringing and as such, the street became their safe haven.
While some see this problem as unsurmountable and engage in all manner of nefarious activities and constantly blame their parents for their woes, others think outside the box and rewrite their history.
The former refused to see beyond his nose and sees his unfortunate state as an opportunity to take the easy route to make ends meet while the latter sees his condition as a means to do things differently because he knows that he will surely be blamed by his own children if he failed to rewrite the history.
Instead of seating at the comfort of your room and blame your parents for your present predicaments, instead of capitalising on the mistakes or poor condition of your parents why not think outside the box, instead of whining all the time why not take the bull by the horn and alter the history if you don't want your own children to blame you too.
The world had produced great leaders who grew through solid rock, and become a point of reference to those who think family background is the justification of one's success.
For how long will you keep blaming your parents for your failure? Why can't you be the change and rewrite the history? Think outside the box!
