Let It End With You

The Nature vs Nurture argument has existed for a long time. Some say that people are born the way they are while others think that it is a person's environment that makes them what they are. I think I believe in the latter.

It's funny how, no matter how some people may disagree with how their parents brought them up, when they have kids of their own, they tend to make the same mistakes their own parents did. And it's sad because it's always the kids that get the raw end of the deal. Always.

When something like this happens, I always wonder who should be to blame: the parent who started it or the one who is perpetuating it. Can it really be fair to argue that since one has been brought up a certain way, that is how one's children be raised... no matter how questionable the methods?

Shouldn't it be that if one realises what damage has been, and ultimately could be, done, one should make the effort to ensure that it doesn't happen? Because, in the end it's always the kids that get the raw end of the deal. ALWAYS.
