However...
However, no matter how you, my beloved child, mistreat them or how unpleasantly deals with them, they not only will not find a hatred against you but they also, will not attempt to get revenge from you. The Child: The purity of your hearts has impressed me so deeply. No matter how bad my behaviour should cause a slightest heartbreak, you would soon forget about it and would resume your cheerfulness.
This is because of my good fortune that the Almighty Creator has created you so compassionate to treat me with kindness and love and to never ignore me. 15. Complaining and Hoping for Forgiveness The Father: My child! Following our discussions in the past, I do not believe you would ever mistreat, hurt or disobey us in any manner, shape or form. Nor would you turn away from us in disgust.
whatever we tell you does not come from mere carnal desires, but it is inspired by our love to you and is in your interest. So, listen to us and do as we suggest so you will find sucess and happiness. The child: When I was a child, I was ignorant. Now that I am a young man, I am suffering from pride. these two elements have prevented me from fulfilling my obligations towards you and from pleasing you.
If my immature behaviour has cause you any hardship, or if I have ignored you, I sincerely apologize. And I hope that you will forgive me, as the great people do forgive. If parents do not forgive their children, then who woudl? And if they do not excuse them, who would? 16. Sufferings and Hopes The Father: My child! Your father and mother have suffered a lot, gone through many ups and dwons and thicks and things, joys and sorrows in raising you and bringing you up to this stage, Look now!
If you prove to be a bad person, you have spoiled all their sufferings and hopes. The Child: Whenever, in appearance, I disagree with you, in reality internally, I feel ashamed and sorrowful. The more I disobey you, the more sorry I become. I pledge that from now on, I would be beneficial to you. If not that, at least I would not cause you any harm. 17. The Religious Beliefs vs. Superstitions The Father: My child!
Now that you have become mature, wise and of age, instead of homouring and respecting you parents, you are calling them ignorant, old fashioned and supersticious! What you call superstition, they consider regious fdknwledge and tradition. and they are deeply committed to observing them. Don't you think tye could be right?
