Repeating The Sins of Our FATHERS!

Someone said "the generation of our present fathers have committed so much mistakes that all we can just do is forgive them". I second that statement, because  looking back i see a lot of polygamist,drunks, and broke fathers with broken homes. I mean they were so middle class minded and self-fish that it was in that generation we had a lot of corrupt leaders that led this country to the state it is presently.
Nearly half of all the fathers in that generation had married twice or have a concubine somewhere,making step- brothers,step-sisters,step-mothers a norm.
Not all of them were that bad,( there are loads of sweet,loving and caring fathers among our fathers) but probe deeply and you would find out that most of your friends fall in this category.Most of us carry this shame about, but it was not our fault,as a matter of fact it is there shame,never ours!

The major challenge with our generation is that we think we are smarter than the generation of our fathers,and we think we can never be as broke and broken like they are.Imagine a dude that came from a polygamous home with broke parents, already triple dating,and he is so sure he wont end up like his dad because he is smarter and plays his game safer...hmmm....i bet his father thought that too! Lets not talk about our own corruption! its worse.

It is so easy to make accusations at somebody when you aint in their shoes,it looks easy from the outside and we can say "how can a man be this Broke!" "How can a father drink all his money away!" "i cant be that foolish".......
The only person capable of rebuking anyone,is someone who has gone through the same thing and acted wisely,someone who succeeded where others fell.

A story was told of a woman who always complained of how dirty the cloths on the laundry line of her neighbours look, then one day she said "wow her cloths look cleaner today,she must have changed her detergent" then her husband replied "no i woke up early this morning and i cleaned our window". That is exactly what we in this generation are doing, still looking through the dirty window, blaming others while what we should do is clean up our view.
