None, but a parent is the
veracious preceptor of a child. Our parents are the inexplicable great beings
who induce us into this world, introduce us with the characters of this stage,
and then prepare us to become good characters ourselves. The core existence
that we carry is definitive just because of our parents who forget each and
everything after they see the countenance of their children, the ones who learn
to sacrifice their needs so that the money could be spent on our toys, the ones
who learn to forget about their own requirements so that we could be sent to a
good school. They are the ones who forget that they used to have a life when we
weren’t in this world, and hence there can be no one as much wonderful and
incredible as our parents. Words fall short to describe their essence because,
if we weren’t allocated with these two beautiful people, our life would carry
no meaning at all. And hence these words are just abysmal in front of the
grandeur of love our parents shower on us.
Indubitably, they try to
prepare us to become immaculate denizens of this world and do something
different, but because of the excessive love that they have for us in their
heart, they keep many things covert. With great love comes a great sense of
protection, and in this safeguarding they conceal many things from us. Though
we can’t blame them for this act because this benign act is out of pure love,
but still one must unravel some things that one is not told about by one’s
parents.
1. LIFE IS HARD:
Parents will always protect their children and let them live in their own
realms but not telling them how cruel this life is; by not telling them how
much cut-throat competition is out there in this world. Their veritable love
just restrains them from telling us about this cruel world. They will never
teach their children that life is not a Cinderella’s dream, because they don’t
want our innocence to recede into a constant alertness against this world. They
will always try to affect that life is a rose-laden carpet but will always curb
themselves from adding that post script that roses has thorns too.
2. YOU WON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT: When
we are growing up, we get used to getting everything we desire for. We get used
to be treated like kings in our small castle – our home. No matter how much
things were difficult, we always got what we wanted, and we effected the
opinion that life is also going to bless us with the things we want – even
before we want those things. But our parents never told us that life was going
to hit us hard and fling us down to the ground. That many a time failure will
strike us hard and no matter how much we try, we won’t be able to get back up
again, that Rome was not built in one day, and that some of our wishes will
never come true.
3. THERE ARE NOT ALWAYS
HAPPY ENDINGS: As toddlers, we all loved listening to various wonderful
fictional fables or stories from our parents. We used to blossom up when the
story would end at a happy note and our parents also told us only one thing –
every ending is a happy ending. But unfortunately life doesn’t correlate with
them. Not every ending are meant for a happy face, so endings take tears; not
always will you get what you want in the end, sometimes you have to compromise
with what you have got; not all dreams come true, sometimes a weeping heart has
to console itself with a defeat.
4. HOW HARD IT IS TO
EARN MONEY: When we are children, nobody talks to us about money. We start
believing the money is for granted because our parents never made us wait to
get toys, chocolates, school bags etc. We start believing that money is not at
all important because our father never told us how many nights he had to wake
up to meet the deadline set by his boss, and because our mother never told us
how many times she wanted to buy things for her own but couldn’t because she
had to save money for our tuition fee. As we grow up, we realize that the money
which we deemed secondary is actually the most pivotal things sans which this
world doesn’t work. Believe it or not – you parents ingeniously prevaricated
this issue and fooled you to believe that money is always there.
4. HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT
THEM? : Our parents teach us so many things but never tell us how to live
without them. How to help ourselves when our mother would no longer be there to
care if we have eaten our lunch? How to help ourselves when our dad’s shoulder
is no more to give us a place to weep and let our heart out? How to sort out
things when there seems no way out? How to laugh when the one who gave us this
countenance is no more to feel it?
The pious bond that we
share with them obviated them telling us the truth, but they were right at
their own place since if the gardener told the seeds how ruthlessly their
flowers will be plucked when grow up, the seeds would never germinate.

FAKE, IT WOULD BE A TRAGEDY IF THEY KNEW.” – PAULO COELHO
