How often we hear of individuals who squarely blame their maladies and under achievements to their upbringing and specifically their parents? We hear of their lack of confidence to an overbearing mother who is always just around the corner to cushion his next fall. His inability to concentrate is because the parents failed to provide a memorable childhood. They cannot sustain a relationship because their parents had marital issues. They cannot keep time because the parents were deep sleepers. Honesty is an alien word because the father cheated on the mother. He lacks self-discipline because his father was a rolling stone. You have a reason for all the unfavourable traits that you possess, everybody else except the man in the mirror whom you do not wish to blame.
Could your parents be such worthless creatures that the forces of nature decided to go through the sieve of natural selection and survive the swim of the survival race of the fittest? Would they not be purged out of the system as quality controls often do to aberrations of deformed proteins. There sure must be some redeeming factors in them that you fail to recognise. Plough harder. You may indeed find the gem that your progeny discovered in each other. Perhaps the comfort you are in blinds you to the amenities that are around you - that you take as your birthright. Remember, nobody or nothing owes you a living. Every living day is just a piece of alms strewn at your face by the Benefactor of the Universe.
