WHY THE PRESSURE?

in Reflections • 4 months ago (edited)

*Good day everyone.
‎Some thing actually happened in my community yesterday been Sunday and so I want to reflect on it hear.
‎A thive was caught and was about to be burned alive and at that moment the police arrived and arrested the man.

‎Report says that he was asked a question at the station: why do you steal?
‎His answer was to impress his father who always try to compare him financially with other children in the neighborhood.

‎
Too much pressure the father is putting on him to make money, build house and more while he is still a student in the university.
‎
‎When I had the side of the boys story, had to confirm if it's true and it appears the boy is speaking the truth.
‎It appears the father is more than 60 years and the boy is only 22 years of age so I got wondering why a father would pressure his son these much to archive at 22 what he could not archive in more than 60 years?
‎
I need answers

Sometimes, I believe it the influence of pressure about them enjoying the fruit of their labor as they have toiled all their life to raise their children. At 60 years, a man is expected to work less and rest more as old age is starting to set in.
