Topic: If I had just listen to momma and daddy……..
After watching that video I saw myself in that video as a teen. I remember wanting to experience the world on my own. I remember my mother saying, “Son I just don’t want you to experience the pain I have experienced.” I would say mom that’s the only way I can learn. I remember when I experienced my first heart break. The first person I called was my mother. I didn’t realize how painful life was. I remember a song that was hit in my day. It was my mommas favorite song. It was called mamma used to say by an artist named Junior. Listen to the lyrics Mama used to say, Take your time, young man, Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old,Mama used to say, Take it in your stride,Mama used to say, Live your life. I see it was your momma favorite song also.
Youth Has there been a time in your life where you had found yourself in so bad that you wished you had never gotten yourself into? It was a situation that you could have’s avoided altogether because it was a situation that you had no business involved in the first place. It was a situation that had all the warning signs and all the red flags waving before your very eyes, but you chose to ignore the warning signs and the red flags as warnings. And at the end of the situation, you found yourself saying these words to yourself:

“If I had just listen to momma…..”

“If I had just paid attention to what my parents were trying to tell me back then……”

“If I had just did what daddy had told me to do…..”

Now let me talk to the adults have you ever found yourself saying…
“If I had just listen, I would not be in this trouble, I would not be broke and homeless, I would not have dropped out of high school or college, I would not been pregnant out of wedlock, I would not been expelled out of school, I would not have been fired from my job……… If I had just listen to my momma or if I had just listened to my daddy………

    Sex and Marriage

    • 1426 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Marriage has been one of the most fundamental principals of human society since the beginning of time. Traditionally understood marriage is restricted to two people, particularly a women and a man. Since the nature of marriage is changing with modern times and people are marrying for love not just social needs should the notion that is reviewed by society and this long- confirmed definition be reconfigured and opened in order to make same-sex marriage suitable in society or refuse same-sex marriage? More than half of all people in the United States oppose gay marriage, even though three fourths are otherwise supportive of gay rights. This means that many of the same people who are even passionately in favor of gay rights oppose gays on this one issue (Bidstrup). Many moral controversies revolve around gay marriage such as, marriage is an institution between one man and one woman and gay relationships are immoral. John Corvino rejects the view that homosexuality is immoral in his article, “Why Shouldn’t Tommy and Jim Have Sex? A Defense of Homosexuality.” He responds to two arguments against homosexual sex, that it is unnatural and harmful. Unnatural refers to that which deviates from the norm, from what most people do. Corvino distinguishes various senses of “unnatural” and his overall conclusion in this regard is that homosexual sex is not unnatural in any morally relevant sense. He defends the practice of homosexuality against the charge that is harmful. He takes issue both with the claim that the practice of homosexuality is harmful to those who engage in it and with the claim that others are threatened by it (Mappes). Many people believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman because that is the view installed throughout the Bible. One major notion commonly heard is, God made Adam and Even and that is what binds marriage and morality. Many believe same-sex marriage is immoral but who is permitted to determine the morality of…

    This boys life

    • 473 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Young people are most often guided by their parents and guardians of what they should or shouldn’t do. However, some unfortunate ones are left alone to find their own paths. In their search of making their own identity, some young people choose to fight against all obstacles to reach goals that will lead to a successful fortune, while some will walk an uneasy way and repeat themselves in the misery of self-destructiveness and self-sabotaging behaviors. In Tobias Wolff’s memoir This Boy’s Life, the author presents a life that is built up on continuous self-destructive decisions, making himself his own worst enemy and causing all kinds of situations which he hopes to change and evolve into a better self, only to once again find him fallen into the very trap set up by no one but himself.…

    I realised that the responsibility of the decisions was mine alone and the fact that I should accept the blame when the decisions back fired with a straight face, at the end of the day maybe I was wrong but even importantly I realised it was ok to mistakes but what was unacceptable was repeating them. At some point in everybody’s life, there comes a time when they have to make a choice and its often a crisis between what they actually want to be and the expectations, peer pressure and lot of other factors .While some do despite all barriers follow what their heart says, some bow down to the pressure that the society and other factors inflict on them and eventually the passion that drove them fizzes out and they become used to a template sort of life. But that was not the sort of life I wanted , following my heart, chasing my dreams with the passion for making them come true being the major motivating factor , I dint want to ever stop trying and get sucked into the conventional life that millions live every day. After years into the future , I did not want to regret about the way I had lived my life or rue about missed chances that I could have taken and changed the course of my life.…
