Hello, everyone.
Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. These days we have seen people suffer things that they know nothing about, things that happened even before they were born, but they have to pay for it or suffer because of it, which is very wrong and can be frustrating. Nobody enjoys paying for the crimes they did not commit; paying for crimes one committed is already tiring and frustrating enough. What more, paying for a crime you did not commit? Sometimes I try to picture how much pressure paying for a crime one committed puts on them; how would one now feel paying for a crime they did not commit? That alone can even push one to depression.
There are villages and communities where children are judged by the sins of their fathers or even forefathers; there are families that are avoided in my community, all because their forefathers were famous for charms and for being native doctors, but now the current family has changed and are now Christians, but the community and people in the community still avoid them for something their ancestors were involved in. They want to be involved in things, but people still don't want to give them a chance, and for sure it is killing them on the inside, which is what paying for a crime you know nothing about does.
I have shared a story once when I tried to work at a construction site and show an engineer was treating me wrongly and ensuring that when jobs are shared, I don't get any; it was painful and frustrating because for about a week I was paying transport fare to the site but did not get any job, so no pay, and all the money wasted on transport fare was not recovered, and in the end I discovered the reason the engineer kept doing that was because a soldier shot his dad, and information reaching him was that my dad was a soldier, and for that reason he hates anybody related to soldiers or anyone that has anything to do with soldiers. Here I paud for crime inknew nothing about abd it really did hurt.
That period I had planned what I would use my pay from the site to do, but in the end I got nothing, and I even lost the little I had, and it was really frustrating and annoying, but I could do nothing, and in the end I stopped going to the site. Suffering or paying for a crime that one did not commit is really not something anyone would want to experience, as the feelings that come with it can be overwhelming.
All images used are mine.
I am a child myself, and as much as we benefit from the good that our parents or forefathers did, and it i brings us joy that does not mean we have to pay for their crimes or be judged by it. I think everyone should be given the room to actually prove themselves either to be different or the same before they are judged; those judged by the sins of their parents can actually be different from their parents and even behave differently but will have to deal with that stigma their parents must have created and having to deal eith such a stigma can stop them from being themselves.
