I came across this video and since these days, the topic floating in my sphere is “parents” and most specially “dads”, I thought I could give it a shout out.
Because you know, pretty much all my upcoming posts would be about books and videogames.
If there’s something I always notice about dads is the fact they’re trying to do “their best” according to “their own perspective”. And if you happen to not have a dad “aware” of this simple fact, the fact that it is “his perspective”, then you’re pretty much settled for a lot of fighting. It’s not that bad I think, since you’re still alive. And as Kanye said: “that-that-that-that don’t kill me can only make me stronger”
Maybe communication could build bridges (heh 8B ?) but when it has been way engrained in someone’s brain and that all the entourage of this someone doesn’t help him be aware of the existence of different perspectives, then again, you’re pretty much settled for a lot a lot of fighting.
It’s usually about fighting with me 8B. Sorry people u__u, I was never used to get ANYTHING the easy way, and if by any chance I get a break, it’s to have it rougher next time. So yeah, it’s pretty much about fighting with me and I’m aware there must be another “perspective” but let’s stick to fighting for now.
I guess dads may think that too. They’re so convinced they see it best that they tell themselves to just carry on and change perspective after it’s all set up.
I’m aware dads are human. I wish they were aware of that, too. So they won’t see their world falling everytime something goes wrong. So to all people who have stubborn uniperspective dads in this world -and god knows how much there are of them in this generation -, give them a big shout out and take it easy with them when they don’t take it easy with themselves.
Try talking and if it doesn’t work, just be sure of what you’re doing and carry it on so by the end, your dad will eventually understand that you can make it in a different way.
Then again, who am I to give advice in such subjects? Family is really not my thing. Coldplay says “And homes, places we’ve grown, All of us are done for.” But hell! there must be another perspective in here too.
My core point is intentions. I believe intentions are eventually understood no matter how you act or speak or behave. So to my dad, I’ll just say that:
-”I have the best intentions for you, dude. As you seem to have the best for me. That’s why we’re not hating on each other, are we 8B? You’re a good human, man! And you won’t regret it Amen u__u”
