Is this karma?

You sometimes wonder why some people remain confronted with challenges in life. Often, those challenges could be certain actions or wrong judgment taken by their actions or parents, the outcome that would later have adverse effects.

It is grossly irresponsible to shoo away a girl who comes up to you as a parent that your son is responsible for her pregnancy because she is not up to your expectation. That is imprudent.

It is equally slipshod for parents to push away their daughters instead of giving the love and support needed that period.

Yes, she messed up, but her life and the life of the unborn child should be more valuable than a name to protect.

My mother’s generation were not truly wise in handling situations like that. They had strict prudish morals that was slapdash.

Years ago, a friend messed up. It was at the age where parents are naturally outraged. In a sloppy manner, she was frogged matched to the boy’s house whom she claimed was responsible. The boy’s parents were wealthier; typically, of the la –di-da class she was hurried out so fast as soon as she strode in that she did not know the color of the gate. They lacked premonition.

The girl’s parents did not fare better, they did not want the additional responsibility of the girl and baby, and they showed her the door. In difficulty and financial constraints, she gave birth to the baby in her grandmother’s house.

The baby needed medical care but got no support from anybody. After so much labor to keep the baby alive, the child sadly and painfully drifted to the world beyond.

In agony and great distress, she held the dead child and cursed the boy and his parents. That was ominous.

Years later, the boy got married but the marriage barely survived the first year. He got married again and in the five years strife, discord and dissention of purpose and ideology was their daily anthem. It scattered without children.

Well, he was wealthy so did not think he had a problem; he ostentatiously changed women as if he changed underwears. Thereafter he brazenly acquired nine other women who all took swift walks when they came to a realization.

Now the toll of having so many women and parting with substantial amount of money or property has dealt a huge toll on him. The cunning or smartness of some of the women to exert as much as they could from him as payment for wasted years with him has greatly imploded his finances. He is in the dregs of beggarliness.

Now he is fighting his battles alone. Seeking God frantically! Calling God frenetically to his condition. Except the mercy of God prevails, he would sink in the quagmire he found himself.

The parents who were the harbingers of his misfortune and misadventure in life have long danced to their ancestors!

The young girl haughtily driven away by his parents is married with kids today!

IS THIS KARMA?

What essentially is the lesson I am trying to highlight here?

Parents should thoroughly probe deeply to find out any accusation against their children.

Do not envisage your children are not in contention.

When still in doubt, you take temporary responsibility of mother and child until truth reveals.

No doubt, children from contentious pregnancies by sheer benevolence always turn out splitting images of the denying fathers.

Thankfully, today DNA is an advanced technology to determine the identity of a child.
