I have a story to tell.
There is this little boy who is very cute and smart. Maybe not book smart but he is a street smart boy. From young everyone likes him a lot, and he is his eldest sister's favorite sibling. The day when he was sent home from the hospital after delivery, his eldest sister gingerly touched his subtle forehead, the feeling of love is so strong. The connection between the siblings is strong. But, things change.
As they both grow up, the focus has changed. The sister has many other things to focus, and the little brother has seem to be a confirmed existence. As if he will always be there. He will not change. Negligence. Ignorance. Naive.
But when the little boy grows up, he faces different environments. He isn't happy with schooling, doesn't understand the subjects, fails several important units, sleep in the class. From bad to worst. He does everything without telling his parents, not even his sisters. Maybe to him, his family does not care anymore.
Parents are busy building a new house, thinking of other people's problems, socializing. Sister is too engross with her own problems, career, relationship, friendship, etc. Seems like family has not been in her equation for a long period of time. Negligence. Ignorance.
He may feel that nobody is there to help him, he turns his attention to his friends. The influence of peers, or some other things, they are all better than his family. Eventually the bubble bursts and the ugly side reveals. And the reality shocks everyone of them, including his eldest sister.
He failed his subjects terribly, he hide his sister's mp3 and lied that he did not. When confronted, he said this is a revenge. When accused, he pointed his finger to his mother and said please do not disturb, you are a disturbance. He shouted to his mother, asking her to shut up. His eldest sister is there too during the confrontation. She shouted as well, couldn't believe what her beloved little brother has done, partly also to cover her shock. What has happened? Why he change so much? Negligence. Because all the while they don't care, and now they don't know how they can care anymore.
The scenario is heart breaking. Painfully heart breaking. The eldest sister started crying during the confrontation, trying to save her little brother from fire. But he has been in the fire for so long and nobody cares. How can she save her by just scolding and tell him what is the right thing to do? And how she knows this is the right thing to do anyways?
The moral of the story:
Our eyes are narrow-sighted most of the time. We only see and magnify our problems, engross into them and spend most of the time self-pitying and blaming others for the unfairness. Negligence. Denial. Ignorance. We have eventually forgotten our closest family, forgot about other things. Negligence. When the truth reveals, it will just take you by surprise.
When you still can, please do not ignore your family members. Take responsibility as part of the family member.
