What your parents never told you about?


None, but a parent is the veracious preceptor of a child. Our parents are the inexplicable great beings who induce us into this world, introduce us with the characters of this stage, and then prepare us to become good characters ourselves. The core existence that we carry is definitive just because of our parents who forget each and everything after they see the countenance of their children, the ones who learn to sacrifice their needs so that the money could be spent on our toys, the ones who learn to forget about their own requirements so that we could be sent to a good school. They are the ones who forget that they used to have a life when we weren’t in this world, and hence there can be no one as much wonderful and incredible as our parents. Words fall short to describe their essence because, if we weren’t allocated with these two beautiful people, our life would carry no meaning at all. And hence these words are just abysmal in front of the grandeur of love our parents shower on us.
Indubitably, they try to prepare us to become immaculate denizens of this world and do something different, but because of the excessive love that they have for us in their heart, they keep many things covert. With great love comes a great sense of protection, and in this safeguarding they conceal many things from us. Though we can’t blame them for this act because this benign act is out of pure love, but still one must unravel some things that one is not told about by one’s parents.
1. LIFE IS HARD: Parents will always protect their children and let them live in their own realms but not telling them how cruel this life is; by not telling them how much cut-throat competition is out there in this world. Their veritable love just restrains them from telling us about this cruel world. They will never teach their children that life is not a Cinderella’s dream, because they don’t want our innocence to recede into a constant alertness against this world. They will always try to affect that life is a rose-laden carpet but will always curb themselves from adding that post script that roses has thorns too.
2. YOU WON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT: When we are growing up, we get used to getting everything we desire for. We get used to be treated like kings in our small castle – our home. No matter how much things were difficult, we always got what we wanted, and we effected the opinion that life is also going to bless us with the things we want – even before we want those things. But our parents never told us that life was going to hit us hard and fling us down to the ground. That many a time failure will strike us hard and no matter how much we try, we won’t be able to get back up again, that Rome was not built in one day, and that some of our wishes will never come true.
3. THERE ARE NOT ALWAYS HAPPY ENDINGS: As toddlers, we all loved listening to various wonderful fictional fables or stories from our parents. We used to blossom up when the story would end at a happy note and our parents also told us only one thing – every ending is a happy ending. But unfortunately life doesn’t correlate with them. Not every ending are meant for a happy face, so endings take tears; not always will you get what you want in the end, sometimes you have to compromise with what you have got; not all dreams come true, sometimes a weeping heart has to console itself with a defeat.
4. HOW HARD IT IS TO EARN MONEY: When we are children, nobody talks to us about money. We start believing the money is for granted because our parents never made us wait to get toys, chocolates, school bags etc. We start believing that money is not at all important because our father never told us how many nights he had to wake up to meet the deadline set by his boss, and because our mother never told us how many times she wanted to buy things for her own but couldn’t because she had to save money for our tuition fee. As we grow up, we realize that the money which we deemed secondary is actually the most pivotal things sans which this world doesn’t work. Believe it or not – you parents ingeniously prevaricated this issue and fooled you to believe that money is always there.
4. HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT THEM? : Our parents teach us so many things but never tell us how to live without them. How to help ourselves when our mother would no longer be there to care if we have eaten our lunch? How to help ourselves when our dad’s shoulder is no more to give us a place to weep and let our heart out? How to sort out things when there seems no way out? How to laugh when the one who gave us this countenance is no more to feel it?
The pious bond that we share with them obviated them telling us the truth, but they were right at their own place since if the gardener told the seeds how ruthlessly their flowers will be plucked when grow up, the seeds would never germinate.
