Talk the Talk 话话世界

    In this world, I believe not one can own everything not even most of it. Money, friendship, talent, love, family and happy... No one will ever have all of these at the same time and owns them forever even Superman was not able to do this. There's always funny quarrels in my family, I believe when these quarrels had been came along for years, everytime they did brought some short-term angry or unsatisfied. However, when the quarrels came every year just like they have a season like how the sea waves hit the beach, I did enjoyed it. It may sound ridiculous when I said I "enjoyed" quarrels in family.

     I enjoyed when I was involved in it. I was scolded by parents and sister quite often. Why? I don't really explain why I'm not wrong, I don't really talk while just listened all the way they scolded me. Years by years, I understood my family. The starting few years, I will always try to find their own mistakes. Following years, I've been figuring did I really did wrong things. Years later, I found myself changed the part I did wrong but at the same time I still get scolded badly... These times I knew I wasn't wrong it just they don't understand my intentions that did these things.

     My family members did quarrelled among themselves during the "season". Then lately, they found out, I was actually the most calm people when I get scolded. I said :" I understand that we are a family, yet everyone's demand was different so what I did is just find out whether I did wrong or not, if I wasn't guilty just rubbed it off..." I actually pointed out my family members are all hot-tempered, ego... because they believed in themselves, they have the ability to do things and they wanted people to agree with them. It doesn't mean they are sturborn but what we have to do is put down our own "pride" start to approach them and tell them slowly and softly what we think and what we want.

       I was actually a guy that grew in this family, if I don't love them, don't forgive them, who will? In this world, there's no one will choose to be friend with someone betrayed or hated his/her family. When you talked about teenagers' problem, I did had it before... When you talked about wasn't allow to go out, I did went through it... When you talked about get scolded for spending too much money, came home late or drunk, I did tried it before... Everything our family did was for our own good. You may not think so now but if you had ever seen a mother shivered holding a umbrella waiting for her children during a rainy day... A father risked his life to fight with the robbers to save his son... A mother cooked 365 days per year just to let their children eat healthier... In the eyes of teenagers, these parents are stupid, outdated, sturborn, lame, boring and wasting time... But why are these parents not giving up? They love their children more than they love themself...

        Parents usually married at the age between 20-40... Having child at the time 30-50... They spent 10 years t take care the children. Another 10 years to make sure they can live on their own. Some of the children not even able to independent after 20 sometimes they find tehir parents for money even they are elder than 40... So parents actually worked for years for their children... Still complaint about your mother's food was Yucks... Still think your daddy someone too strict for you?2 stories for you...

        There was a girl kept bringing food from home as her lunch in school and lasted for years. The starting of first year, her good friends used to try the food. They think it was nice but kinda normal and surely it was not as good as those restaurant's food. However, this girl managed to eat these food although her mum would already repeated the same food few times a week. She managed to finish all the food everytime. The last day before the girl and her friends graduate, the friends went her house for dinner.

" Girl, you and your friends eat first. Don't have to wait for me..."
" Ok. Mum."
" How was the food today, girl?"
" Mum, it was very tasty..."

    but her friends showed different face expression, they found the food were either too sweet or too salty. They even found hairs inside the food. They hardly finished the dinner. Just when they walked out the door.

One of the friends:" Oh, ill... You eating this kind of food everyday... Ill... It was so bad compared to outside food."

     The girl remained calm and said :" Years ago, I used to say this when I came back home everyday. But my mum said :" Never mind. Mum still can cook, mum will cook for you. " I wasn't really like this idea but I don't have pocket money, I can't buy food in school. What I did was just don't eat at all when I was home. Years by years,, I found my lunch boxes getting salter and salter, sweeter and sweeter. I observed and I realised mum was really old, she wasn't able to be sensitive in taste anymore. At the same time, her eye-sight getting worse. I realised mum never beware of it, she wanted to cook for me so badly. I should let her do it while she can..."

      No one ever responded after listened the girl's story.

      Second story was happen in a town. There was a father allow his kid to do anything other than swimming. His kid will definitely don't know why. So he kept wondering why he can't swim. When the boy turned 13 years old, he asked his dad permission to swim. His father rejected it hard without further considered it. The boy wasn't satisfy and keep asking his dad about that on his birthday every year, the answer remained the same. Until the boy was 18, he get rejected but this time he never care about his dad anymore. He ran to the river near his house. He shouted :" I'm big enough to swim now. I want to have the fun of playing in water."

      The boy swimmed in the river but not for long. He was drowning... His dad immediately jumped down to the water to save him. The boy fainted.

       When he woke up, he was in hospital. He saw his mum was beside him and he did rememberd his dad was the one saved him. So where's dad? The mum responded :" You know what, boy. I loved your dad and married with him because he is a good husband and father. He is multi-talented and something that became his weakness was he wasn't good in swimming. He didn't allow you to swim because he don't have he ability to keep you safe when you swimming. He was a great and brave father... He did... He was so brave to jump into the river and pushed you to the riverside. I saw his face before he drowned... His lips were moving and I saw it clearly :" Thank God!" This was the first time he swimmed together with his son but it was also the last time..."

        Sometimes parents wanted to protect us, care us but they never tell us face to face. Understanding is the key. Take this chance and talk to your family members sincerely no matter it is a Christmas or not.

         Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
