The Sins Of The Father

How do you look at the world? With cool, rosy shades, or maybe you prefer you glass half empty with a healthy dose of negative energy. What ever you believe, you might find that you started to look at the world in this fashion, long before you understood the meaning of the words: optimist and pessimist.

Studies have shown that the way we perceive the world around us is formed at ages as young as three if not younger. During these years we are at out most venerable, the dogma and rants of a parents or teacher, become the reality of what we perceives there to be lurking in the world. Many of these held believes are never displaced by our own and even though we know better, they hang around in the back of our minds, tainting for better or worse all that we encounter in daily life.

Many parents complain that their toddlers or teens are unruly and stubborn, but many fail to question the role they played in shaping that personality. What is often seen by parents to be, rebellious behavior might actually just be the unwillingness to recognizing yourself in that little bundle of hell spawn.

I’m sick of parents phoning in on the radio help programs and blaming every living organism on the planet for their child’s behavior. They rarely take any responsibility, blaming it on friends, television and society in general. Maybe it is time that they realized that behind every stubborn child, there is a stubborn parent.

Don’t dismiss this post with aiming to do some unofficial parent bashing. The importance here in lies in each of us, releasing that, the silent crimes we
commit against those some much younger then yourself, will inevitable come back to haunt us in some form.
