in #philosophy7 years ago

Hello everybody, I would like to dedicate this post well to fathers day. I don't know how special this day is for most of you or in your country but I would like to share a kind of sentimental post directed to all.

We all have a father, like it or not, maybe he is a number one asshole or maybe he is loving and caring, but we all have a father.
So the purpose of this post is to share with you my experiences and feelings about all the matter.

I am trying to make this post something to reflex on and maybe learn a bit about love and forgiving.

Learning to forgive

I don't personally have any problems with my father but from talking to my uncle, he is an ophthalmologist who also hears peoples problems and helps them, I have learned that a lot of people have problems with their fathers.

A lot of people have a deep resentment against their fathers and as you know, resentment and hate harm you in your mental and physical health.

Sometimes maybe we disagree with our father in some things that can end up transforming him into our enemy, when that shouldn't be the case.

Some men are horrible fathers and harm their kinds, how can someone who has been harmed by the person they should trust the must be able to forgive them?
It's not an easy task I will say but it's something that will end up making us better.

If your father is a really bad man, I won't tell you to go and have a wonderful father-son or father-daughter relationship.
But well you could call him and tell him you forgive him.

Hating someone so close to us leads us to nothing.
Learning to forgive, leads us to becoming better, what we should be striving to do everyday.

If you forgive, your mind will be more at ease, you will feel better, no more pressure being felt on yourforgiveness.jpg emotions.

If you are enemies because of some dispute or some disagreement that you can't just seem to get over with.
Be the better man, and call him to make peace with him.


Happy Fathers Day!
Enjoy some time with your father. They are great men.
Being a father is no easy task trust me and you should really try and spend some time more with him.

Learn from his mistakes for when you are a father yourself and try to listen to him.
He has lived and knows about life much more than you think.
So just take the time to listen to him, drink a beer with him or a coffee and try to learn something from him before he is long gone.
