When I was 6, I was that I was expected to be ecclesiastic by my family. At that point, I did everything my parents told me because I didn't particularly have any personal beliefs. I did exactly as my parents wished. I took Qur'an lessons to learn Arabic, and I learned as many prayers as I could. As I became more seasoned to the reality and cruelty of the world, I began to question everything I was told as a child. I became less and less religious as I became less innocent to the world's truths. In a way, this is just like what is happening to the boys in Lord of the Flies.
As children, we never really understand how much of our parents' resources we use. We continually sap their income and energy. Our parents have dedicated hours upon hours to take care of us, make us happy, and just simply continue the human race. We never are truly appreciative for the hundreds of thousands of dollars spend on our educations and other things in life, but how can we truly make up for something so large? How can we pay our parents back? The answer is simple but hard. We should simply just love our parents and show them how much we appreciate everything. Everyone struggles with this, but it seems to be worth it to me.
