Between late 80's and up till now, there has been a mid-social level in our Egyptian social mix, that very soon started to diminish.
In the very beginning we were less conscious of whats happening beyond the monthly exams and the bigger checkpoints in mid and final exams; but the fragmentation that was taking place ever-since that was for someone like me a phenomenon with unforeseen effect. but later on I found it rectifying itself to me; As most of my friends and acquaintances were born in families of self-made parents, who mostly lived a kind of monetarily poor life may be in a country-side or even in some parts of cities, when those parents exerted and sacrificed huge deal of effort and self-entertainment, they aimed at bringing us up in a better social level and give us better chances in education and overall well-being;The fact that makes anyone of us unable to fulfill thanking them, and thanking god for bringing such life with such generous parents.
Whilst thanking god for this blessing, I was surprisingly growing up :) , a year after a year, a day after a day have impacted my personality in every way and aspect. This alteration and experiences gained and lived are the real buildups, are the real hammer and chisel that really shapes the very details of my personality and/or character.
From a personal experience, my very blessed fate to be with such a great father and mother have added so many values and behaviors that some people find rare, even nerdy in such a polluted era where right deeds -many times- sound wrong.
The main negative thing from being brought up in the aforementioned time bracket, is that many of us have lived a sort of pampering that made some experiences sound too harsh to examine, so the graduality of facing multi-level difficulties throughout our lives were only experienced in every years final exams- which lately proved nonsense- and families tried their best to constrain us from every other challenge in life -but the exams and bla blab.. -from getting close to their children; the fact that if we look back and try to remember the load of issues we could have experienced, we find nothing but raising out hands up high and thank god for having our families.
The only setback a man can get out of this excessive kind of care from dad and mum is the big checkpoints in our lives; As we grow older we will be experiencing too many kinds of challenge we were simply brought up knowing nothing about them.
The fact that made me stop and think...
Isn't life a journey that everyone travels through? everyone should see some good and bad scenes surrounding them from every-side? will i be able to attain another way when i get to bring up my own kids? or i will do the same endeavor my family did with me?- Asln will i be able to be that strong and sacrificing-?
Millions of question marks were raised, and the confusion gets bigger as days pass, so i thought to listen to what our religion said in this case, a verse in quran or a Hadith will be what doctors ordered.
All what I can\may expect or intend to do, is not doing the same with my future kids, because life is getting tougher, and it requires stiffness more stamina At earlier Age.
Please watch what sheikh M. Metwally Alsha'rawy have said about bringing up.
