Reflection Of A Childhood

Rahul intends to celebrate his 60th birthday. He asked his mother that he wanted to invite his friends over dinner on his birthday. She replied that it's her house so whatever he wanted to do, let it be done outside. 

Why Rahul is asking such things to his mother, look at his childhood..

Rahul was the normal kid. Rahul's father was usually busy with his business, while his mother was a housewife, taking care of the children. Father has a good business and a growing one, so the family has all the luxuries at home.

Rahul used to get all luxurious but grown up with impression that his father is never cares about kids. Hence, kids developed habit of asking mother for every little thing. Rahul and a little sister never had habit of doing their own work. Every small task of the daily routine such as school bag packing or their dressing all was managed by the maid or mother.

Even when Rahul was in college, mother used to give pocket money every day with intentions that if she gives more, he won't be able to handle it. Mother never trusted anyone not even her own husband, so she unknowingly was cultivating the same in her kids.

When these children grew up in such a manner and condition that you are from a royal family do not need to do any work. Their attitude caused them to have no good friend. This way, they really become dependent on the mother or the maids. They have never taken their own decisions in life. 

Rahul and his sister, they never accepted any one around, neither they were good with each other. Parents never bothered how these siblings are treating each other.

All were living at same place, but no one actually cares about others. They were frightened by failure to the extent that they were pleased not to try.

It's been stated that children learn more from their parents' actions than their words. Here, they haven't even noticed how their parents are living their lives. Despite her age, mother is willing to take on responsibilities, and father is also involved in business throughout his life. But children from early childhood were taught to shred of their responsibilities. The mother's excessive control led to marital problems for both of them.

The father never made his side clear. He acted with the children the way his wife wished.

Living in an immature environment for a long time made it difficult to understand what was wrong with a life full of dependency. For them, it is respect for their mother.

Will they ever understand, you are not responsible for the programming you picked up in the 'download years' of your childhood, but you are 100% responsible for installing the upgrades. As, they got so entangled with the echos of their past that not only they unable to understand purpose of human birth but cannot even see what's best for them for now and for future.
