Guardians: Let's Do It Right

It is quite pathetic how guardians quickly become a dictator over their ward despite the fact that they are aged enough to think and ponder for themselves. It is plain thing to see a guardian scolding and criticizing their wards for little mistakes that need genuine correction -claiming adequate care and protection against being vulnerable to insincere dangers. I still wonder why bullying and and thorough beating is necessary as corrective steps instead of punishment and counseling.

Being a ward has made many feel small and traumatised in the name of Guardianism, and with unreasonable care and protection as if the world is rumbling threat. Many ward can't help but to call themselves slaves,prisoners, loners, etc, and many more unprintable ridiculous names owing to how harshly their freedom are being seized forever. Many don't even have any say when their guardians reel out strict unquestionable instructions even though they are unsatisfied.

They remain calm and wallow in solitude like nobody. Some are lucky enough of being fed well all days with their head at large and body shape like balloon; while it is unfortunate, however, for some that falls in the line of being starved with little or no food to function the body system well; their meal is never three square meal a day, and it is also a pity that both with different ill-treatments were mostly saddled with mountain of task in the house. "you have to wash this, that, sweep these, scrub that,clean these - are most of the unforgivable instructions they must conform with, willy-nilly. Almost all the house chores are being done by the poor wards.

Moreover, the unkind masters will let no friend near their ward as they purely know having friends will undoubtedly be a kind of eye-opener for the ward sadistic torture for many years of silence. No only that, they knew those friends can unmask the whole meaning behind being denied of their right. but what, the guardians false cry is to be a good guardian to steer clear all bad friends.. No shadow of friends should dare come visit them― even in their leizure time.

Guardian's children are only privileged to walk out and visit buddies as often as endless while coming home in the evening with smiling face. This makes me pose these question that, "If someone is under our care, not even our blood, but maybe from relations, either from the couples relatives, should they not be treated well like our flesh (children)?

How do we feel when our sons or daughters living with someone being treated bad? Can we just bless them with our son or daughter's ear upright like that of rabbit as a result of doing slave works in which we never burden them with such before?

I must say we all deserve to be treated well while. In case we think some don't worth to be treat well, let me ask again that why are the ones that deserved it being treated as slaves with no freedom to do what is right for themselves? Why don't we just give them the chance to use their brain instead of ours every time? the bitter true is that, If they tread the wrong path, we can caution them to the right one.

Our children are pampered with bad manners, laziness and completely slacked as a result of our incompetence and the work of karma; the burden we put on those that lives under us with many house-work in which supposed to be a division of labour..

In the same climes, many home nowadays train their housekeeper through strictness and hard work while their own children remain forever spoil and indolent cum lack of home training. Sad indeed!

We people should know quite well that in whatever we do in life,we should always have it in mind that "what is good for the goose is also good for the gander."

They also deserve to be treated well like our own children. This, can in many ways bring happiness to our families. It can also build a wall against being partial between our children and those that lives with us, by doing the right thing and not what is easy.

Our ward's freedom has nothing to do with us.
