"In order to understand life, you go back to the place where your parents live (hometown)."
Until now, this line always coming back and forth on my mind. It is like a ghost that would drive me always again and again, to this line. I just love what my instructor in Maternal and Child Care told the class about something that would keep us reminding that in order for us to better understand life (I can't perfectly get the correct line of this inspirational message from my instructor), we need to go back to the place where our parents live.
This would mean that when in growing old as teenager or so, in order for us to understand why our parents' upbringings are like these or why the kind of culture we have in our family is like that, we need to go to the place of where our parents originally live before when they were still young so that we could fully understand their life as we form realizations, learning and even connections in their past to our present as their children.
It is very much important for parents to guide their children in a way of making their life story before, an "open book" for their children so that there is a solid understanding why our parents are like this and that. Why we have practices, beliefs and traditions at home. That, in our stay in their lives, they bring culture to home. What our parents' upbringing of their parents before would always reflect the kind of home that they also want to learn to their children and it could pass from generations to generations.
Values, morals, teachings, etc., these inexpensive things, our parents are masters of them. Probably, we don't understand why they are so strict and overprotective. It surely boils down to what they are before. It could be that they don't want us to experience the "lack" of teachings they have before in their family. It could also be that they don't want us to get hurt and be harmed, that is why, they are doing things that would oftentimes label for some as "over" negatively, but it does not in real sense.
It is so good to always bring back the experience of one's parents alive always in the house of a family. This would always make a good and happy home.
