heartless

When you have the heart to tell your own children that they are less than what they really are, you have destroy parts of their life that they are trying to build. Children, they know that they are different from their friends or the people they have met and throughout their life journey to discover themselves and their identity, they have heard many things and seen many things that made them rise and fall. They know and they go through that every single day trying to fit in and trying to find a solid ground where they can stand on while expecting to have a certain kind of comfort that would always motivate them and remind them that they are perfect. They don't have to go too far to find perfection because they are unique individuals who could shine no matter what people say or do to them. They are perfect. You are perfect.

And yet, what they get is that they are less, they are not good enough, they are stupid, they are ugly, they are everything negative the world has to offer. How can a child live with that in mind and with absolutely no where to go to when they lose themselves along the way? I remember someone told me that she was the least pretty among her siblings and even though people kept pointing out the obvious to her, she still put her heads up high and ignore the mean things people say because her father once told her that she is beautiful and that is enough for her to believe in herself that she is indeed beautiful. Yes, beauty is not the most important thing in the world but what i'm trying to tell you here is that she grew up strong and grew up to discover herself and the idea of beauty in its purest form. She didn't have to go around telling people or showing people how beautiful she is because she know that she is beautiful regardless of what people say. It's not all about the outer appearance, it's the inside that counts.

Now if you have the heart to tell your own children that they are less than what they really are, i don't know what kind of person you are. Help them, they are human beings after all and they know when their own parents treat them as if they are unworthy to even stand on the same level as everyone else. They know how to cry and how to feel pain when you said those horrible things about them. They wanted to feel secure and not fall off track when the whole world look down on them. If they can't even feel save under your care, they can never truly find themselves.
