Parenthood: A Bitter Pleasure

-


Our ever first relation, after coming into this world, is with our parent. At that moment, we are so week that we cannot do any of our mundane work like eating, washing, walking, speaking or so on. All works are done by our parents. In the mean time, our mothers who carried us almost nine months are going through the mental trauma because of her lack of sleep after her physical hassle, the libber pain. And our fathers, the most protective person in this world, do not what to do for their child’s protection or health. They always think how they can make our life easier. After going through so much drama from the childhood to the adulthood, they still love their child’s smile.

We may think it is hard when we are the child. But it is not what you are expecting. The new chapter is beginning as soon as we step into our teenage. We did so many crazy things that we do regret after the time past. At that very moment, our parents hold our hand firmly with patients and care so that we could not slip in our life.
If we think that when we become adult they stop to worry about us, we are absolutely wrong.  They still worry even though we cross the age of 50. Whatever our age is that does not make them stop worrying or care.  

It is the moment I like to share the first line of the prose, ‘Of Parents and Children’ marked by Francis Bacon.

 “The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears.”

In this line, Bacon has experienced the experiences of the parents. Those experiences are so personal that they cannot share either their joys or sorrows causing by their children with other.  That doesn’t mean that they are the bow to do their duties. That means they would like to keep these feeling to themselves than tell anyone else about them.  That’s how much they love us. So it is our duties to stay by their side in their thin and thick of time. Because when you confuse or face difficulty in your childhood or adulthood they are the people whose show or give the shelter to you after the Allah (SWT).

Searching for the Forgotten Dream

-
For childhood to Adulthood, every stay of life, we want so many things. Some of our wanted are fulfilled and some aren’t. For those things that are not fulfilled, sometimes we are obsessed with or totally forget. But a long time of these obsessions can become our desire.  This desire can be merely a wish if we are not given a proper shape or plan for that.  Then what is the problem of giving its shape? The problem appears when we fail to give this desire a proper plan. Suppose, a little boy or girl has a desire to do art but he or she doesn’t from when he or she gathers the acquirements or how he or she will teach with any kind of resources. Despite all lacking and after a long time of giving efforts, the desire of that person becomes still through it seeks an opportunity in the silent heart. Soon after that desire merely turns into an impossible dream.     Is it frustrating that dream can be dreaming about it but you cannot achieve it. At th...

A Friend Hiding in the Darkness

-
Now I am feeling like the darkness swelling me and cannot take a breath.  Trying to save from the darkness and trying to take the breath. Trying to hold someone’s hand. But there is no one to hold my hand. All efforts make me tried. All efforts are making me sleepy.   This sleepiness is making my all struggle pointed less. In this struggle, we are thinking where its end is. This all struggle is left within us the uncertainty.  After all, things, when we become numb, give up of living and leave to sink in the darkness, a light approaches to give hope. It will be facing us when we get lonely at one point in our life. This loneliness is a feeling just like other feelings which we have to learn to deal with it.  We often think that our loved ones will be always sticking with us at the time of worst or happiness. But when they are failed to stay with us at the time of our worst, we become doubt about their love. Is this way to justice their love over...

Quest to the Mysterious Self

-
To gain knowledge in life, we try to go through so many books and explore so many places. How come these books and places couldn’t give the everlasting pleasure? Then, why are we chasing for such knowledge with such labor? Is it only because of merely money, showing off or what? Yes, we need to know things two or three for our survival. But, why isn’t this knowledge given us the everlasting pleasure or peace of mind? Why are they brought the occasional gratification as well as leave us the misery of ignorance? It may be because which we have in our life or what we want to become that we think we want it but the reality,  it is not what we want. Yes, these things are puzzling. But need to know for gaining the self-peace. There is a gap between we and our knowledge. That gap appears only when we try to intimate in career, personal or social life. One famous quotation from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self Reliance:     “Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your be...
