Member-only story
You were born! Everyone is happy and excited. You’re cute. Everyone loves you, plays with you, makes funny noises, tries to manipulate you, controls you, dictates to you, and shapes you. You are not asked for your opinion. Facts are presented to you, one after the other, at any age and in any situation. You must not resist.
Just agree and remain silent. Be obedient disciplined. Once you rebel, they will not like the idea and will try to fight you. At first, they will threaten, another will punish, and sometimes it may end in violence. From an early age, you explore boundaries and begin to understand life without calling it by its real name, “battlefield or jungle.”
You begin to understand the set of forces, strong versus weak. From the age of 0 to 18, you are in the power of parents who teach you, educate you, and outline for you an excellent way to live. Sometimes you are born into a violent reality, a reality of poverty, a reality that has been forced on you, and you have to choose between good and evil.
It does not matter what background you came from or the situations you eventually faced. The scenarios are repeated in different backdrops, other locations, and new characters. A lesson you have not dealt with successfully in the past will come back to haunt you.
