WHEN I WAS A CHILD

 

Maturity in life is seen in our thought pattern.  People will see you either as a child or matured based on your understanding of life. 

I wish to bring every reader to a place of sober reflection, where we learn not to take people and things in our lives for granted.

As a child, I believed that the world was one big Disney land where everyone has similar experiences and can have their dreams actualized by having a magic lamp like that of Aladin.

When I was a child, I thought every child I met on the street had living parents alive as a privilege.

When I was a child, I thought every married couple had their own children because every neighbor of ours had their own children living with them.

When I was a child, I didn’t understand why people gave testimonies in church to thank God for the safe delivery of their babies.  I thought it was normal for every woman to deliver safely because that was how my mother’s 6 children were born.

When I was a child, I thought bad things happen to people only when they have done wrong in life.

As I grew up, my personal experiences and general observations have taught me a lot about life.  I have learnt to appreciate the people in my life.

“Maturity in life is seen in our appreciation and value for the people and things we have, knowing that there are others who never had such privileges."

It is not right for a 15 year old to be sleeping around especially with married men:  Agreed! But can you imagine the sort of things you might have done to survive if you had lost your parents at a younger age being the first born amongst your siblings and now turned breadwinner?

You are still a child even at 40 if you are at loggerheads with your parents.  Those bad parents you think you have are the same who sheltered and catered for you till you came of age.  Never think you are better off without them.  Be grateful your parents didn’t die on the same day that you were born.  Don’t deceive yourself that you know people who never saw their parents but are doing well.  Those are few among the lot.

You are married and blessed to have a healthy, strong and good spouse who doesn’t cheat on you yet at the least provocation, you refuse to speak to him/her for days let alone allow any sexual intimacy between you.  It is a serious matter! You are still a child.  It is when you lose that spouse and end up as a single parent that you will appreciate how much of a blessing he/she had been to you.

You have never known what it means to be married for 20 years without a child so you don’t value your wife or children.  Don’t wait until you are over 60 years of age with a family and yet lonely, before you regret not having built a great relationship with your wife and children.

I can give a lot more examples but I don’t want to get you bored.

It is often said that experience is the best teacher but it is better to become wiser in life by learning from other people’s bad experiences.  Avoid those mistakes and make a better experience for others to learn from.
