What can and can’t they do?
Every child who comes into this world is born into the religion of Nature irrelevant to the religion of his/her parent. But “Can” & “Can’t” “Do’s” & don’ts” chase him from the cradle to the grave.
In his infancy he tries to understand the movement of his mother’s finger moving right and left showing “don’t” or “can’t”. Since a child should be inquisitive about any particular action which he can’t understand himself and must have to do something to know, but ‘No, you “can’t do” is there before him.
When the child gets older and starts to understand, he hears the words “don’t do that” or “No you can’t do this, you are too little”. Up to the age of eighteen these don’t and can’t are the recitation of his parent.
After eighteen years now the great problem starts. Heavenly instructions start to bombard.
“No it can’t be allowed in our religion.!”
“Why can’t I marry mom! I love her!’
“No you can’t marry her she belongs to another religion.”
“if it’s so I’ll adopt her religion”
“NO, YOU MUSTN'T, YOU CAN’T, YOU SHOULDN'T!”
“Mother, yes I can, what’s the big deal in it, this or that,”
“I HAVE SAID ONCE AND FOR ALL YOU CAN’T marry her - IF YOU DO YOU WILL BE OUT OF THIS HOUSE”.
Then the boy gets married, and sometime later he with his wife starts the same lesson with their own children. So this “Can” & “Can’t” is such a lesson with which every child opens his eyes into this world not only has to face himself or herself but will have to recite for their own children.
Life is "DOES AND DON’T" AND "CAN AND CAN’T", and nothing else.

It's true .........I like your writing.Thank you.But i hope it will be changed very soon Don't worry about that . We will give a beautiful world of our kids. They will not face this kind of situation.
Thanks m'lady for sparing time for these valuable comments.
Lucky are those kids who have parents who never stop reminding them about the do's and don'ts of life. This should be instilled in their young minds because once they grow old, they would not depart from it. An abandoned child will always turn into a rebellious child someday.
Unfortunately, the child's environment and peers sometimes have greater influence on his bearing than his parents. Hard headed generation prevails. So sad!
Life is easier to live for an obedient child than for the disobedient!
Yes Eva, absolutely right, that's why nature has created it in our instinct.
Thanks for your comments.
