The lot of us sounds harsh when we say the truth and when we really care. In most cases, we will sound condescending and the narrow-minded will take us offensively but in all honestly, we are just trying to help. We must realize that the most important lessons in life are not served on a silver platter. We must learn how to take constructive criticisms that are often unpleasant to hear. It may sometimes be the same when saying the sweetest thing and sounding very sincere at the same time. We just literally need to read between lines or rather rephrase it on our own. There is only one thing we need to keep in mind, consider the person who is giving the message.
If you must understand, my eldest daughter gave me a simple card from school last Father’s Day. And in it wrote the darndest thing that everyone must face; Daddy sana hindi ka mamatay (Daddy, I wish you will not die). The sincerity of the phrase made everyone that read it laugh, I know you did too, but the sweetness of the message is heartfelt after the laughter settles. Aleci is only 6years old as of this writing and I already think that soon I will be encountering questions from her that even I do not know the answer. Abrelle is now 5years old and she is just learning how to read. I can only imagine what will she say when it is her turn to start uncovering the realities of life.
nice. ang sweet naman po ng daughter mo. belated happy father’s day.
salamat po teacher kaye!
hahaha. pagkakita ko pa lang nung card, sobrang lafftrip nako parekoy. haha. kids say the darndest things indeed.
