Teaching The Devil’s Kid
By peace | February 14, 2008
This is a continuation from this post, Love Relationship.
What we see is one teacher many students, One mother with a few kids, one boss with a few employees, but there are good students and poor students. There are good children and bad children. There are good employees and bad employees. The good child that walks out of the house may not be a good student, but if he works hard, and he is willing, he would be a good student and ultimately a good employee if he continues to walk in the right path. Having a yardstick in his heart, he should be able to measure what he sees and hear and he should act according to his own judgment.
Regardless of how the mother teaches you and how your teacher said to you, if your heart is not around, there is no way anybody can help you. The kid refuses to open their eyes and hears. They prefer to rest and lead an easy life of comfort. This is the normal human nature, idling and lazing around. But they are habits that will lead the child to destruction ultimately. Many parents do not know what to do. Many parents gave up ‘teaching’ their kids.
When you think that handling baby is not easy and thought that your life would be easier when your kids grow up, then you might be wrong away. For every stage of the kids’ life, there are always challenges ahead. Learning something good is often so hard, and yet learning the bad is not learning at all. The kids just follows what is bad naturally. How to teach a kid well in this case? Gambling is bad. You cannot be bookie, but your father can be bookie. You cannot speak Singlish but your Father speaks Singlish. Children, what are you thinking?
Since my father can do, why can’t I? Since I do not get the results I want, I don’t try, I don’t do anything. TV shows people playing Mahjong. I want to play Mahjong. Maths and Science are boring. Arts is a waste of time when you have computer software to help you colour and paint without creating a mess and hassle of washing up. Don’t tell me what to do. I know what to do. You are not always right, but I know what I want. I don’t want to be like you.
Children’s mind like adults’ minds are hard to read. Even psychologist can never be 100% right. But we have brains and we have a pumping heart. With our body and brain, we can develop strategies and ways to win our enemies. Afterall, Life is just another Art. My Life, My Art The creation of God is an art. The making of a movie is an art. Art is all around us. When our love is not reciprocated, they seem to turn into enemies instead. How many parents and children severe their ties and kinship. How many children did not care about their elderly parents once they make their way out of life?
One day, all it takes is one day, for me to be broken and shattered. It takes days and months and even years for me to recover, leaving scars, which may or may not be healed. No plastic surgery could be done. One Satan is not enough in the house. What if there is a Satanic Kid in the house? Married the Devil and give birth to the devil’s kid. Will there be Peace when there is no peace? Yes, I had learned. I will continue to fight with you. You can never win with war. War will always create war. But not with poison. Learn from nature, Durian, the successful Fruit which so many people are crazy over. It is deadly but not so deadly if you know it well. 以毒攻毒(Yi Du Gong Du) Fighting Poison with Poison. I am going to win the Devil and the little Devil.
