Human as we are, we often commit mistakes. May it be a minuscule or a humongous one. And the only people you can run to for whatever purpose they may serve you is your immediate family. The only one who understands when the whole whole world doesn't. In the family, siblings are the first people you can talk to with just about anything, and eventually be your accomplice in everything you got into, most specifically, trouble. When it comes, a sudden superhero appears in the form of your parents. The guardian angels who would save you from your destruction. But, what if they would also be the one to lead you to your agony and sorrow? I understand that they have the sole right and responsibility to each and everyone of us being their kids. But haven't they realized that we are also human beings? that we also feel? Just because of them being our parents doesn't give them the ultimate right to say and do whatever they think of. Especially if it's to hurt someone. Would the authority vested in them as parents serves them the right to spank or shower us with dirty water? I do understand the gratitude we owe them for the life they gave us, but would that suffice for them to say hurtful words at us? to wish us die? I greatly apologized for those whom by any means were hurt by everything I said. But I am just asking, is it justifiable for parents to say "Anak ra ka!" ("You're just my son/daughter!") when we are all humans? whatever we hold of as positions can't take back the fact that we all gonna die, are you willing to listen to us telling you "Patay na bitaw ka!" ("You're dead anyway!") It's the humane treatment I seek, because the inhuman treatment leads the hurtful words, and painful and lingering grudges. Would it make you righteous if you wish your kid die? Would it fulfill your parental feeling if you have spank your kid just because he said something you dislike to hear?
We are not just your sons and daughters, we are humans too!
