Listening to parents - benefits and disadvantages for young people and not only
Since ancient times, the world's most popular religions have clearly encouraged or even commanded children and young people to obey their parents.
Judaism and those who wrote down the Holy Scriptures were no exception.
But is obedience to parents so helpful?
How does obedience to parents differ from being a slave?
Is obedience to parents absolute? For how long can it be considered valid?
Since ancient times, rulers have been telling people with children to listen to their parents' children.
Even the writers of the Bible, inspired by the holy spirit, wrote down the commandment for young people to obey their parents.
How is it that the very religion that is said to lead people to God preaches loudly and clearly that children should obey their parents.
Interesting thing - is there such a commandment for parents to listen to their children?
To be honest, I would have loved it.
Unfortunately, many parents seem to be far too busy most of the time to really listen to their children and young people; and the interesting thing is that, unfortunately, they often aren't.
One of the reasons for this is that the system does its best to keep people so busy that they seem to lose sight of the most important thing: caring for their families.
In fact and in law, parents may have a much greater need to listen to their children and young people than children and young people need to listen to their parents.
Unfortunately, there is nowhere a command for parents to make time to listen to their young people!
If only there were a principle to this effect!
Of course, love can be the driving force that helps and motivates parents to listen to their children.
But, as we know, "love with shame is not possible".
But back to the importance of listening to children's parents.
What are some practical benefits of listening to children from their parents?
- A first use, and perhaps among the most important - is that only in this way can a family be functional, and all its members can thus enjoy together happiness, peace, peace,of harmony and understanding, of a cordial and peaceful climate, where the love between all family members is protected through this and can grow, and adults within the family can enjoy quietly, quietly,peace and harmony of family life and the important things in their lives of great people, and they can provide them and the family as a whole necessary things,so that the whole family may enjoy them together and that all members of the family may enjoy as fully as possible what they have and the privilege that they belong from a happy and united family.
- The second reason why listening to parents is so important: to allow children and young people to learn from their own mistakes in an age-appropriate setting, thereby avoiding frustrating contact with the conditions of living in society before they are really ready for it.
And in order that there may be a climate of relative justice in the family, so that no disorder and rebellion are allowed in the family, so that things are not allowed to get out of hand in a way that would be detrimental to the whole family, so that the whole family, including children and young people, would suffer, and still more terribly, when the structure and duties of the family are seriously violated and the proper functioning of the family as a whole is being undermined out of a certain state of laziness and foolish carelessness.family,
- Perhaps the most wonderful benefit of listening to children and young people as parents is that children can enjoy their childhood to its fullest potential, take risks without loss or harm, allow teens and young adults to enjoy the treasure of their youth and strength, and truly learn how to make, maintain and keep beautiful and fulfilling relationships in life.
A big disadvantage that can arise from parental obedience is when parental obedience exceeds its duties and limits, when this so-called parental obedience can lead to a form of annihilation of one's own personality and normal and healthy way of life.
Parenting overreaches when parents sometimes,or even frequently,overreach themselves,often being pressured by this system,and pressing too hard on one or more outdated ideas,like a brake and accelerator often at the same time, which in time leads far too often to the ruin of the young person's life, to their lack of perspective and to far too serious, and sometimes lifelong, problems for the parents and the shame, fear and loneliness and confinement that can result of this.
Much worse is when obedience to parents, this wonderful skill that can help you enjoy your childhood and youth in peace and tranquillity, is actually misused by parents who, out of an excessive desire to keep things under control, unfortunately end up over-controlling every aspect of your life, including aspects that are very important for young people and where parents do no good to interfere, because they turn you into a slave, and into a being who will unfortunately remain all his life a child who is misunderstood, unheard by his parents and whose opinions do not count!
Especially when the teenager starts his first relationships and begins to know the world of love, and parents are categorically opposed to the love of young people in their care, and from such lack of understanding and empathy, which some parents show by seriously exceeding their duties, young people can ruin their lives.
Let us never allow them to do that!
Therefore, listening to parents can be both helpful and protective for parents and especially for growing up safely and creating a pleasant and safer way of life for children and young people.
But obedience to parents can also be a source of unhappiness for both parties when parents seriously overstep their duties, meddling unlawfully in the lives of young people and unreasonably and unscrupulously allowing themselves to make decisions for young people, and worse, to their detriment.
Listening to parents can be likened to a fire: within the right framework and always bearing in mind one's own responsibilities and the good of young people and their children where it is necessary and beneficial, particularly for children and adolescents, listening to parents can be good and even useful.
But where the lives of young people and children have become a living hell because parents have chosen to abuse their authority,parental obedience no longer has any legal basis,because it avoids supporting the good and the beautiful in the lives of young people and children,and such parents would find it useful and urgent to have their parental rights temporarily withdrawn until they choose to educate themselves on healthy ways to lead their family towards real happiness,satisfaction and progress,not towards disaster!
Please allow me to finally tell you a few words about myself. I am not writing these words to complain.
Some time after I came into the world,medicines found that I have a number of problems with walking, which,specifically, by the time I was four, I could not walk on my feet, and I also had some problems of psycho-social adaptability,which is why I am labeled with various offensive names even in my family, and I feel almost always misunderstood about my dreams, hopes and projects for the future;not only am I being thrown at unpleasant words, but the bad part is that most of my dreams are sabotaged - by whom do you think? Even my parents, the closest members of the family.
You find it odd, don't you?
And it's painful when those who should be your best friends, they seem to turn against you and become bitter enemies!
When I was a kid, I used to spend a lot of time in hospitals. Maybe that's why I wanted to be a doctor.
Parents, what to say at first? They supported my hope in a way. Or they were actually pretending to back me up.
When I was going to high school, they showed their true face.
They didn't even want to hear about my medicine!
Country people, with 4 classes,at what else to expect from them?
Each with its own fixation.
Especially when I thought I was in love!
Then you should have seen the theater!
No relationship of mine was approved by the parents; I did not even receive a clear proof of strength of character to recognize at least the right of” to have a girlfriend!
Or with what relationship I was caught, it was not good!
How did I adapt to such a situation?
That I've adapted, it's relatively little said. I suppose that a normal and whole-minded man could leave home when he had to face such a situation.
Simply, if I was without disabilities and faced this, I might have come to a conclusion like, I'm not just allowed to live. Yes,or not?
