The Ironies of Life and Living - E


E had four siblings. Their father was a short-tempered headstrong man with very little patience. As E grew up in the household observing his father’s traits and lack of charisma, he vowed that he would never be like his father. He would treat his wife with the dignity that she deserved and show patience to everyone he came in contact with. Years passed. E’s father passed away. E tied the knot and had a son. The first few years were bliss, but eventually, E’s temperament changed. He became short-tempered. He snapped at his wife for the slightest mistake she made. He was impatient with family and friends. Isn’t it ironical that having sworn years earlier that he would never be like his father, now people said that he was a chip of the old block?
