25 Vendetta - The First Born
And all the first born in the land that did not have the lamb's blood painted over their doors and windows were killed..............
I was not the first born son in the family. My parents and grandparents doted on my brother a lot. In chinese, there is a saying that : The first born child is like the youngest son of the grandparents. There was clear favourism between all our siblings and him.
Now, as I have my own faimily, I swear I would never practice favourism over my children. In fact, I condemn such Chinese values, beliefs and practices.
If you have your own children, I hope you treat them all equally. You do not want them to grow up to become people of my generation. People who think they are inferior to the family's first born son and bearing lots of hatred in their upbringing.
The worst, you just have more people growing up and writing their grievances in blogs.
