Attitude towards the shadow

It isn't the memories that put us down. It's our attitude towards the same. For some people, like me, it isn't that they can't let go of something. They just don't want to. Fighting the battle that has never been meant to them. Claiming upstairs to catch the stars like a child. For a child, it is the innocence and the ignorance about the fact that stars can't be caught by walking up the stairs. But for us, adults, it is the attitude that results in burning our energy in the most wasteful way.

Sometimes I tend to think it is always good not to have something you wanted during your childhood, face failures during your young age, being rejected even before you get matured enough to understand that. You see, that helps you grow. As a matter of fact, those are the things that brings you the maturity to handle your life and creates an easy to handle future.

I'm concerned the way most kids are brought up in today's world. The attitude of revenge of parents to get those to their kids, which they couldn't get for themselves during their growing up ages. It worries me. Will they be able to handle the cruelty of the world as they grow older..?

Having said all these, we always have a statement to console us, our kids and the world, "at the end, it all boils down to the fate!". Don't we..?
