INSULTS - HURTS AND HUMILIATION

EMOTIONAL TRAUMA

Children are like flowers.They are tender, weak and fragile.They bloom and blossom with the manure of love and affection.These are like sunlight and water to the flower.When it is denied, the flower will perish.When the love is denied to the children, their emotional health is shattered and they become emotionally handicapped. When parents start accusing their own children for their very small faults, these children are prone to untold anxiety and depression. Their emotional growth is deprived and they naturally fall as victims into the hands of emotional disaster.

Parents are advised not to make crude comments on their own children.These insults, hurts and humiliation make them more inferior and they feel awkward in facing the challenging situation in

their life. The adverse comments uttered by one crude father against his very sesitive son is beautifully expressed by DR.HABIBULLAH in his picturseque emotive poem. Listen to the crying words of the little one, addressed to his perverted and unloving dad.

food, water and shelter are

the basic needs of men.

even to satiate my needs

i need to overcome

your sadistic sarcasm.

when i eat my food

did you not say

i eat like a horse.

so delicious are

your soft words.

when i drink water

did you not utter

i drink like a fish.

very tasty are

your sweet words.

when i sleep for a while

did you not shout

i sleep like a log.

more sedative are

your soothing words.

how sharp - your hurts are

do you have

a balm - to heal

my mental scars.

hard words

never inspire anyone.

sharp comments

never give serenity.

cutting remarks

never bring tranquility.

words are sharper than weapons

medicines heal- the pysical wounds

how can you heal- my mental wounds.

TOO DIFFICULT FOR THE PARENTS TO ANSWER...AND TO DIGEST.
