Gaps we create among ourselves affects the future generations

Our world today, have grew up so fast that most lines between families, states and nations have separated from each other due to misunderstandings between the parties. A misunderstanding which have over the time cause them greatly and have shielded certain benefits they could have enjoyed as peaceful people. Most of these stories always start with them being so attached to each other that the happily ever after was what everyone looked up to them for.

Suddenly something happens then the very close bond they had with each other starts to diminish slowly causing a gap which never closes no matter what happens. These gaps keeps widening all because generations which follows their earlier ancestors are being motivated to keep that gap between them forever in order not for what happened in their times to repeat itself.

For a father, all what he wants is to see his family happy all the time without any flaws in them. He tries his best to keep his family safe from bad omens which surrounds them, and ensures that they stay free and happy. He invites in people he sees as worth his family’s time and tries as much as possible to bond with them, so that they can at least have each other’s back.

What on earth will make a father draw a line between his family and others, if not for ego, pride, jealousy, or a past event which was greatly affected by him emotionally. A line which might never be closed for generations to come, mostly what happens in such situation is that it affects the innocent souls which come after the real folk(s) who caused such emotional pains.

In a situation where the family of a father sense a sudden change between their very close alliance and does not know why there has being a change, they tend to ask questions to such a change. But for this father I am about to gist you about, he gathered his family and let out the cats from the bag to his family by telling them this short story.

To him, he considered their the head of their alliance as a very close friend whom they shared every secrets with each other, but one day as they went into the bush for attend their hunts, they came across a very old man who was at the verge of joining his ancestors. As good as they were they tried to help this old man who wasn’t strong enough and gave up on living on their surface of the earth again.

After the old man joined his ancestors, they tried to look among the belongings of him to know whether there could be any trace to link them to his family. Unfortunately for them they found non to link him to any family member or where he came from. They gave him a befitting burial and later discovered gold among his belongings, so they made a promise to each other to hid the gold for some time, if nobody shows up for a missing family member or gold then they share it equally among themselves.

Gradually days blurred into years and there was no sign of anybody to look for the old man or the gold, so they went on with option of sharing the gold. In the sharing of the gold, the head of their alliance bullied him and took much than him as they agreed on. In this quest to get back what rightfully belong to him, they lost their bond as friends.

With tears rolling from his cheeks, he warned his family never to have anything to do with their alliance again, and anywhere they see any generation of their alliance, they were to deal with them as they deserve, for they are no friends but wolves in sheep skin. For this is the reason why their alliances have started to behave in a way towards them.
