As a rule, goodness incurs further goodness and badness results in
more badness. He who usually does good deeds and respects venerable people will have enough fidelity to reject other love affairs in just a second. He who often lives a bad life will not be faithful enough to overcome such affairs which always haunt his mind. If we find it easy to fall for a stranger, we will destroy our family, our life, and our society.
THE ADOPTED CHILD
Khánh grinned cheerfully, said goodbye to his friends, and got on his father’s motorbike. The father asked:
“When you are so happy, you can forget something. Check everything again, son. Where is your diploma?”
Khánh embraced his father and said:
“All my life, you have only reminded me about forgetting something. I’ve checked already, dad.”
The father rode Khánh to a high-end restaurant to congratulate Khánh’s graduation today. After finishing the meal, the father told Khánh to come and sit beside him and said:
“Today, you graduated from university, so I consider you an adult, and you are ready for this secret. Just stay calm.”
Khánh felt so tense and guessed that it would not be good. The father told Khánh:
“Long ago, our family was very poor, so I struggled to go here and there to earn a living. Your two elder siblings were too young, they could only go to school. Sometimes I could only come home once a year to give money to your mother. Once I came home at the end of the year, your mother was five months pregnant with you and obviously not mine. Your mother confessed that she had a relationship with another man, and she would accept whatever I did. I seemed to fall deep into an abyss."
"I could not sleep all night, and your mother just sat there whimpering. As dawn came, I started to understand many things, I came to help your mother up, held her in my arms and said that I would accept you as my own child. Our family would move to another place to avoid the criticism of the neighbors."
"If your mother still loved the other man, I would give up, just take your siblings with me. But your mother said that her momentary affair was not love. If I allowed her to live, she would live. If I told her to die, she would die. Furthermore, she said when the other man knew she was pregnant, he also ran away."
"I decided to stay and work close to home. Thanks to the heavens for looking after us, everything went well. I did keep my promise, I have been loving you so much, even more than your brother and sister."
"Today I look back, and I am so glad I made the right decision that night. If I had been jealous, angry, resentful and did it any other way, you and your siblings might not have had a peaceful life and completed your study. You are a grown up now, so you have the right to know the truth about your life. You may leave to look for your biological father if you want to. For me, I always truly, completely love you with all my heart, I cannot do otherwise.”
Khánh choked back tears as he said:
“I have no other blood father but you. I will not wonder about such a biological father. All my life, only you are my father.”
Khánh embraced his father and cried.
There must be great morality for a person to overcome such a family tragedy like this. Jealousy and selfishness in love and marriage are extreme, and most people fail. Very few people are moral enough to overcome the psychology of jealousy. Someone like the father in this story is rare, but there are still people like this in life.
We must also talk about the current social crisis which confronts the lack of faith in love and marriage. Both men and women find it very easy to lose their hearts when they meet a new person. Although they might not like the new one so much, they accept getting into a sinful adventure. Just a little bit of new affection can make them immediately forget their current marriage.
Love and marriage in this time are very fragile. The whole of society is, therefore, not stable.
When we meet a person with some good features, we will like him or her naturally. This is the moment that challenges our morals of faithfulness. He who lacks fidelity will get overtaken by emotions and ignore any consequences. He who has enough fidelity will stop that affair right at first thought. However, not everyone has enough strength, will, wisdom, or ethics to stop such an affair immediately.
As a rule, goodness incurs further goodness and badness results in more badness. He who usually does good deeds and respects venerable people will have enough fidelity to reject other love affairs in just a second. He who often lives a bad life will not be faithful enough to overcome such affairs which always haunt his mind. If we find it easy to fall for a stranger, we will destroy our family, our life, and our society.
