IS NOT DEPRESSION - HEREDITY

AN EMOTIONAL QUESTION

Parents think that children won't ask difficult questions. But their thoughts are different; they may not ask embarassing questions to their parents, but they may think differently in their mind.When they grow older, their older thoughts too become mature and bring forth new dimension in their thinking pattern. Parental attitudes create lot of confusion in their young minds. They realise that their parents were very harsh and cruel towards them in their younger days. It hurts them emotionally in their later period of growth and development when they become adolescents and young adults. DR.HABIBULLAH writes in his poem about the mental attitude of these children and how an angry, young innocent adolescent raises a very critical question towards his own parents, in fact - a difficult question too difficult to answer.

a child's charecter is

moulded by nature and nurture.

nature is heredity,

nurture is environment.

what sort of heredity

you infused in me.

if migraine is heredity

is not mental disorder - heredity.

if heart attack is heredity

is not anger - heredity.

if diabetes is heredity

is not depression - heredity.

if asthma is heredity

is not anxiety - heredity.

it is not that - your blood

become my blood,

your thoughts too.

it is not that - your bones

become my bones,

your feelings too.

it is not that - your flesh

become my flesh,

your character too.

if you are poisoned

in your heart,

i am too poisoned

in my heart.
