I thought about the parable of the prodigal son and I wrote down what the person might have thought in detail after looking back on what he has done.. more futuristic though and changed it to sound more like our time not biblical times.
We treat them like shit.
We only go up to them and honestly act like they are the best people in the world just for money
To get what?
Anything materialistic
Why?
Because you want to be "Cool"
That word is being overused, but think about it.
Is it cool to treat them like trash when they themselves were the ones who raised you?
Is it cool to disobey the only two people that would love you no matter what.
No, i don't think so.
they are a burden, but they're a light.
Guiding us through the path where we should be.
We can do anything to them, throw them away for awhile and maybe pick them up again when you feel like you need them.
We are users.
But do they complain?
even after all the things we've done?
No, because they have faith on us, they don't give up.
Because they know this child will turn out to be someone they would be proud of until the day they die.
But are we proud of them? do you say hi to them when you see them at the mall one day where you and your "friend" are "chilling".
And do we see their reaction after? those smiling faces disappearing, hurt.
But do they cause a huge tantrum like we do?
Do they talk so proudly of themselves saying all these words that were not thought off but only said due to anger.. like we do?
No, they forgive.
They're the living JESUS in our daily lives.
Their humbleness makes us think.
I thank GOD for them because I wouldn't be who i am right now.
I wouldn't even have the same type of life that I have right now.
It will take years for us to clearly understand what it's like to be a parent but It doesn't take years for us to know how many things they have to go through for us, it's starting to come to me and it shatters my heart. I'm not proud of what I have done but I cant turn back time, so all i have to do is be proud of having such wonderful parents and hopefully, I will continue thinking like this, for them.
Change is good?
