Being scolded

Most of us are surely scolded when we were young.  To younger readers, you are scolded by your parents because of bullying your siblings, stealing a candy, or simply because you tripped on a rock and got your whole body full of scratches. When we are a bit older, we were scolded for going to computer shops, being with the wrong company, going home a bit late or simply failing an exam. Going to college, we get scolded to even more mature or serious reasons.

Although these things happened, have we really taken into consideration what our parents said to correct what seemed to be something wrong? Moreover, when you become more and more mature, not only your parents step in to scold you but also friends who are close to you.

We do become more and more aware of what is happening around as we grow to such a point that we can ultimately decide, both with full knowledge and with some doubts, what is right and what is wrong. That is why some of us (including me, of course, I admit) think that what our parents sometimes say are wrong. Some of us try to just ignore those things and carry on and just see what will come out as a result and just “adapt”. We are sometimes so much fed up of their irritating buzzing around to enforce that what they think is right but have we really taken into consideration of gave their opinion some thought? Not only our parents but also our friends?

I do. 😀 Yes, sometimes, we have to think about what other people, including our parents, say. And not just listen to them but rather think and try what they really mean. I am not saying that your parents of friends are always correct when they warn you or scold you. They are, sometimes, wrong but probably because they do not know the situation yet or they might have not been updated to things. However, the fact that they warned you or scold you meant that there is surely something that is not in place or not favorable to something good.

I have been scolded many times and most of those are correct. I have a friend of mine trying to correct things for me every now and then and I do believe she is putting me to the right direction. Even my parents are trying to put me into the right direction with all of the scoldings, shoutings, faces that cannot be painted on a canvas and the like. More than that, I have applied into action most of the things that they have mentioned and so far, it brought be close, if not exactly on it, on the right track.

So if close friends try to tell you there is something wrong with your actions or decisions, try to think why is he or she saying these things? Maybe he or she noticed something that I cannot see within my perspective? Why are my parents trying to pull me down low at a particular aspect in life and suggest that I push on something else? Of course, we are mature enough also to try and correct the things that other people tell us. If we take things into consideration properly, we will be able to widen our knowledge of what is wrong and what is right, thus making ourselves better persons. 😀
