Father's Concern
There are many insurance companies in the market who are
there to bear the financial risk but there aren't any such companies who can
bear the risk of human emotion, their feelings, the fear of loss of separation,
frustration, dilemma, depression, anxiety, and fear and so on.
Recently, I was going from my home to laminate my exam
admit card at a nearby stationery shop as the proprietor is my neighbor and since
many ages I go there to photocopy my documents and also to buy newspaper.

After exchanging greetings, he asked me, "Did you
fill the form of Lok Sewa", which is termed as a high valuable job in our
Nepali society and many folks consider it to be a prestigious as well as secure
job, and I said "No, Uncle".
He then advised me and said to fill it next time also to
read the books of lok Sewa and to appear for it.
His daughter is also of my age and we were of same
education level but of different faculties. And he said that, had the exam
commenced on time (before Dashain) she could have appeared for the Lok Sewa.
There are many fathers like him who has a concern for
their children's future and most parents especially want their children to earn
a respectable income in a prestigious position at a respectable company. These
are some expectations of our parents from us but they forget that, can we deliver
according to their investment upon us?
Many send their children abroad spending lots of money
but their children may not be able to compete or do not understand the teaching
methodology, language or culture or even can't adapt to the environment, than
who is to bear all those repercussions?
Many suicidal cases are being reported day by day in local
as well as in international media.
According to Kelly Burns School of Communication University of Miami "Every 38 seconds someone
attempts to commit suicide. It is also the third-leading cause of death
among the ages of 15 to 24."
According to The Times Of India "In VADODARA, The
scare of examination proved to be too much for a class 11 student, who
committed suicide at her residence in Manjalpur. The girl, HimanshiSelar, ended
her life by hanging herself in her room. Himanshi was tense about her school
examinations that were to begin from Friday. A student of science
stream, Himanshi used to study in Maharani School."
Forcing or scolding to do the exact thing could have
negative consequences which can leave many unimagined scar for the entire
lifetime.
Let children flourish according to their passion and
let's create an environment also help them to make a respectable, satisfied and
joyous life which can help everyone in the long run.
Indeed, whatever we may do, the only thing that matters
is inner satisfaction.
