One park, two kinds of childrens and two completely different futures
​
One Sunday evening, I went to the park like I usually do every morning and evening for a walk. I sat near the volleyball ground on a chair while some kids were playing volleyball.
After a while, a little boy came and sat beside me. He offered me a Center Fresh and said, “Bhaiya, will you have one?” I smiled and told him to keep it for himself. Then both of us quietly watched the volleyball game for a long time. After that, he went to feed biscuits to a stray dog.
I don’t know why, but these small acts of kindness make my whole day better. That boy was simple, respectful, and kind-hearted. In today’s world, where many kids don’t even respect elders and don’t like sharing anything because of “this is mine, that is yours,” seeing a child like him genuinely made me happy.
But while returning home, I saw another group of kids around the same age loudly abusing each other with horrible mother-sister slurs. Hearing children speak like that made me feel sad. If this is how they talk at such a young age, what will they become when they grow older?
In the same park, I saw two completely different kinds of children.
One respectful and kind.
The other disrespectful and filled with abusive language.
And honestly, it made me think a lot about parenting, environment, and the kind of future we are creating.
