Shout

It is embarrassing to listen to your father when he is shouting out all accusations against you. Sometimes when you haven’t committed the mistake and are shouted at, it becomes somewhat irritating. I am writing a dream which I had one night where my father was shouting at me. 

It was a wonderful evening after college. I returned home, a little tired. I switched on the computer and was surfing some social sites, browsing through all that was put on it by various friends on mine. After some time my dad entered the living room; he wasn’t in a very good mood. Since I noticed it, I started logging out from all my accounts. Just then he came near me and started staring at the screen. I closed the Google Chrome window and was surprised to see another Google Chrome window open with something weird on it. I immediately turned back; he was still there staring at the screen. I closed this window too before shutting down the computer. To my amazement, just as I was about to shut down the computer, I saw another window open with some similar weird stuff on it; I looked back again and there he was still staring at the computer. He seemed to be a little angry, now he started looking at me and then at the computer. I thought, maybe something was wrong, but before I could ask him he started blurting accusations against me and began cursing the current young/ modern generation. After some time, I couldn’t take it anymore.

 

                I raised my voice two times that of his and told him that I was getting fed up listening to teachers retorting me in the college, friends taking my case always and my dad shouting at me without complete knowledge about a particular situation. I shouted at the top of my voice and tried to make him understand that those Google Chrome windows were open because they were the on-click ad sites which automatically opened. After having explained my side of the story, I looked at him but his face didn’t show any sign of having understood the situation; instead he shouted at me saying that I too like the other youth was lying to him instead of accepting the fact that I intentionally opened those Google Chrome windows.

                I felt as if I had wasted my time having tried to explain to him the truth of the incident. The moral that I take for myself from this incident is that:

1.       I must tell the truth.

2.       Explain my point of view.

3.       Accept reality as it is.
