Our parents tried
<span class="html-content"> <p>This post is not for everyone, although most people would understand it. I think we don't give parents enough credit for what they do. This is not limited to those who grew up with their parents. If you think critically about this, you'd understand the difficulty of raising a human being. Like Kanayo O Kanayo said, "sacrifices must be made." Most parents sacrifice a lot to make sure their kids have the best. Parents always want their kids to have the life they never had. This could make them take decisions and actions that the child may not like, but the intentions are mostly genuine. </p> <p>So, give your parents a break!&nbsp;</p><p>Can you raise yourself?&nbsp;</p><p>Do am if e easy!!</p> <p>Our parents raised us in a time when courses on parenting were not available.&nbsp;</p><p>All they had was their mindset, religion, and society. For me, they did a great job. We tend to dwell mostly on what we wish they could have done, and this is undoubtedly because we compare our realities to others in society. Well, it's understandable as we are humans. I still think we should be grateful for what they did. They created templates we can edit and work on. If your parents or anyone who helped raise you is alive, reach out to them and thank them. Be grateful. If they hurt you, find a way to forgive them. It may not be easy as the scars may be imprinted on your body and mind, but I believe it is worth it. </p> <p>Parents lives matter! </p> <p>Learn Unlearn Relearn </p> </span>
