Author’s picture with his son

Parents are not merely guardians; they are individuals with hearts and imperfections.

Fathers often are the actual heroes of young children.

One day, a 5-year-old asked his father how mangoes tasted so sweet. The father playfully explained that injecting mangoes with sugar makes them sweet.

Once the boy becomes a teenager, he realizes his father doesn’t know everything and gradually sees himself as his own hero.

When he becomes a father and his 5-year-old son asks the same question about mangoes, he also replies with an illogical explanation.

Parents do everything in their capacity to raise their children to the best of their capacity, but children don’t really understand their parent’s perspective.

They should understand that even their parents are susceptible to errors and they still deserve respect and empathy.
