This post is a continuation of "Are my parents perfect?"
When I was a child, people used to think that humans can't change. There was an absolute belief going around, "If you're born from two bad people, you are doomed to be bad too. No matter what. You had no power to modify or correct a poor behaviour. You only had to accept it and move on."
I always disagreed with that and when I grew up, I found out that I was right to refuse that conviction.
People can change, people can learn new skills, people can be great, people can be human, no matter where and from whom are they born.
People can be absolutely everything they want to be.
There are humans who blame their parents for physical and/or psychological abuses. Such an abomination these parents who shouldn't have children.
But guess what? The children who were abused do exactly the same to their children.
Why is that? Whose fault is it now? Their parents?
What if those parents blamed their parents?!
And what if these parents, again, blamed their parents?!?!
Is this circle of blame ever going to break?
The equation of blame will never be solved if we don't stop, look inside us and do our absolute best to solve it.
Here is how.
Can you read, hear, speak, see? Then what's stopping you from becoming the person you want to be? Watch documentaries, read books, educate yourself.
You want to be able to knit, ride a bicycle, play an instrument, cook a great meal, write a book?
All you need is willpower, knowledge, and goals. From there is one single thing to do: Practice.
You are the master of your true essence. Your parents might have given you bad examples, but you don't have to follow them.
Stop being a victim.
Stop blaming your parents, your partner, the society, the president or the king, the global warming or the weather. It's a waste of time and energy.
Blame + blame - action = blame. Action - blame = greatness. Simple as that.
If today you're a criminal, it is not because of what was done on to you, but because of what you haven't done to yourself.
If you can't cook, it is not your mother's fault.
If you're an alcoholic and beat your children, it is not your father to blame.
If you smoke, it is not because your DNA.
If you can't resist temptations, it is not because your grand grandfather was an inveterate cards player.

YOU have the power and the huge potential to be a great person despite your heredity.
It is all within YOU!
