What can and can’t they do?
Every child who comes into this world is born in the religion of Nature irrelevant of 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”. For a child is inquisitive of any particular action of which he himself does not know about, but “don’t’” 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 not do this, you are too little”. Up to the age of eighteen these don’ts and can’ts are the recitation of his parent’s, some lesson of which they themselves do not know or it becomes the song of his teenage years. After eighteen years now the great problem starts. Heavenly instructions start to bombard. “No it is not allowed in the religion.” “Why can’t I mom! I love her!’ “No you can’t she belongs to another religion, and we are from this one.” “In this case I’ll adopt her religion” “NO YOU DON’T, YOU CAN’T” “Mother yes I can, what’s the big deal in it, this religion or that religion,” “I HAVE SAID ONCE AND FOR ALL YOU CAN NOT DO THIS - 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” “Do’s” & don’ts” is such a lesson which every child who opens his eyes into this world not only has to face but himself or herself will have to recite for their own children. Life is "DOES AND DON’T" AND "CAN AND CAN’T", and nothing else.

Thanks AZ for your nice comments.
Again a nice writing showing the realities of life. We face too many limitations and taboos during life that we become irritant, as most of those are illogical and traditional. But sometimes they play a positive role in grooming and character building. As far as religion is concerned If we understand and comprehend its true substance and significance completely and absorb it fully then these do's &don'ts, can's & can'ts doesn't matter.

Hello !!
Some "don'ts" and "can'ts" are very important to our lives. Sometimes I think I realized that I started to grow up when I began to hear that properly, without fights and cries. But if I be honest with you, when these "can'ts" and "don'ts" are related to religion it annoys me a little bit.

Feel free to correct my text. Thank you!!
Well done my friend!!!!! My friend, to be honest with you; "DO AND DON’T" AND "CAN AND CAN’T" whether it is from the rules of my religion or from the rules of my parents, it made the person who I am now. But, that not mean I am a follower, no............No...........definitely no, in fact it is a kind of respect to my religion and my parents, not farther more. And believe me my friend, the inner wiled human being, which wait any opportunity to posses us and to control our actions then, as a matter of fact, controls our whole life, needs such "DO AND DON’T" AND "CAN AND CAN’T" to master him. God bless you my friend.
Saba I salute you!
I appreciate the comments of all of my readers. I enjoy reading the reviews, opinions and comments of my friends. Every writer when writes something he has his own view point, but his readers make him think in different ways, the ways of the readers.
Thanks a lot.
However, I can't help sharing my views :)
I would conclude it in two words "religion v/s youth". As at such stage, we prefer following our emotions to religious or parent's instructions. When the ghost of emotion gets is weakened, we realize which one is to be given importance.
