"Family guy"

"It goes without saying that we feel more comfortable with out spouses, parents and siblings. Perhaps that's why we treat them differently from others."

Just a post I wanted to write about today. On news there, on the family column, they talk about about a post in an article where a person had written on facebook that he wants to tell someone he doesn't personally know about how great of a father he is. In the article the writer states that he has seen a man walking from one place to another with his two children and it seems almost as if the concept of time doesn't exists to the father, just the moment with his children. 
The writer says how impressed he is to the attention the father gives his son, as he's walking just as fast as the son instead of hurrying or slowing down as he speaks with his son. The writer also mentions how he hopes for the father to see his message one day and not get scared if someone scary looking says hello, as that person just wants to tell him how great of a parent he is. The original post is tagged as "an emotional message to an unknown father."

We live in a time where we try to make the world a better place in every possible way while dealing with out own problems. In the past, especially during war-time periods, horrible things have happened where millions of family and friends of everyone, have lost their lives. The problems with ISIS are just on the news constantly and it gives anyone negative thoughts about how the world just hasn't changed, and it probably can't, but posts where an individual person wants to tell someone how great of a parent he is, can work to light the darkness in this postmodern, digital age we live in right now where information, both good and bad, get shared around the world in the blink of an eye...

The somewhat ironic thing about this whole thing was that the writer of the original post said that he never said his admirement personally to the father, face to face, because he didn't want to bother their family time. After this post got published on the family column, however, the unknown father apparently has got over 13 000 shares about the original post by now. Oh well.
