Parents. You would think that a two-syllable word would be easy enough to understand. However, the seven letters hold in them a vast whirlpool of emotions. For starters, we all hate parents at some point or another. But why??? Is it the constant nagging about what you're doing, whom you're hanging with, what time you'll be home, or whether all your homework is completed? Or is it that parents have some crazy, disillusioned idea that no matter how old you are they will always be right about everything? Or is it that parents don't give you any freedom and responsibility until they realize your full potential of running their errands for them?
Whichever one of these you hate most, you can't help but love them. Parents support you when you struggle. They love you when you fail. And, they do whatever necessary to get you back on your feet. Despite the frequent arguing and angry words spoken, you almost have to look up to their persistence and patience in leading you toward the path of integrity. Parents are an idol among idols. Modest and often forgotten, they shape us into the people we become. Whether they physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually guide us, parents always (no matter good or bad) have an effect on our lives.
