Why? How? and Time.

From a very young adolescent, I have been rebellious in many ways...

Why do this?? Why not that??

Why should I eat this, why not McDonalds?

Why do I have to follow you to this.. and not be able to to that..

Why...

The word 'why' may seem inevitable in our daily lives, but this short question plays a big role in all of us.

Even all great people of the past question 'WHY'.

Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Henry Ford, and many more.

It's funny why people don't use 'How' in the same case.

We use the word frequently in situations where we have to count 'How many' or 'How much?'.

..in greetings "How are ya?"... "How've you been?"

Coming back to the point..

Asking how, in my point of view can be really personal.

An example -

Peter, will you clean the dishes for me?

1) WHYYY... I'm so lazy... ask Adeline. :D

2) *you ask yourself how*

How will doing the dishes benefit me?

How will doing the dishes benefit others?

How dirty can it get?

How many dishes are there to do?

How long will it take?

I really believe if we can just swap these words in situations such as this, everyone would become more sensitive to one another especially - our parents.

"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME, WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!"

real question is...

"Why don't you understand them?..."

"If you think your parents don't understand you. Remember, 'fathers were sons and mums were daughters'."

There are some things we can't explain when we ask ourselves how and why..

and it gets frustrating, I know. We all know it.

But I realize after how much responsibilities they have to consider compared to mine at the time.

It takes time to understand, and like I always say

'Everything happens for a reason, and it can be for a good cause."

We may still ask how and why right now, but it's perfect. At least I think it is.

'Fathers are fathers and Mothers are mothers'.

Its the way it is. If they want it that way, its the way it should be done.

'Obedience is better than Sacrifice', that's the way I learned it.

'Fathers will be grandfathers, and Mothers will be grandmothers'.

I just can't ignore the thought of how our folks will be when they become older.

I've heard the worst, and I've heard the best.

Anything can happen and its a fact.

Always cherish them, care for them, thank them for what they've done.

Because in the end, if they were the ones who brought you through, you are the one who need to help them through too... in time.
