The article titled ‘’Roots’’ has really inspired me to write to you all. It was a really meaningful article, which you should all read.
In today’s world, many youngsters turn around and tell their parents, and grandparents, this is not Sri Lanka, this is London.
I do agree this is London, however, we should not change the way we should be, and behave. We tend to miss the point, when our elders say don’t do that, or don’t go there. But there will be a time, when we get married, and have children, and when they turn into teenagers. At that time, we will be so worried about them, and do everything to protect them, and when they will in return tell us, this is not Sri Lanka, and this is London, that’s when we will learn our lessons. Nevertheless, when the time comes for us to understand our mistake, it will be too late, to ask forgiveness. Whatever, our elders say, will have a reason for it, there will be a meaning, but we must not question back, as they do everything they can for our happiness. You may feel agitated, but just think about it, think about, how would you want your children to be? Surely, no matter what our parents say will always be right, with a right purpose. They know much more than us, and have far more experiences than us. Therefore, it will always be wise, for us to seek advice from them.
I think, especially in this world right now, which is full of crime, as you all are aware of, advice from them should not be neglected at all.
When I see old people, I have a soft heart for them, and I always get along with them. I don’t know what it is, but if I see old people, I always want to spend time with them. I know this grandma, whom is not related to me at all, but I really like her, and tell her to come home. When she comes home, it’s just such a nice feeling, to listen to her speak, she has such wisdom, and many experiences, it’s just so amazing. This also goes to our parents, when they tell us about their ups and downs, it really helps us to live better lives. As, they have gone, and come through a lot in life, which cannot be explained in words.
Some of things elders say may seem so unfair, but we have to learn to adjust, and should adapt to their sayings. Its better that we learn now, as it may be too late, when we realise how we really should have been.
The world may seem to fall apart around you, and none of your friends will be there, but your parents will be standing there, right beside you. They are the only ones, who will always be on your side, and support you no matter what.
We have a lot to learn from our parents, which are worth it for our lives.
