Who Knows Best

Something happened the other day, which ended in confliction between my parents and I. They told me one thing, and I thought they were completely wrong. I just felt I had the background information which really made it seem like I was right, and that they were wrong. SEEM is the keyword. it SEEM like I was right... But really, that was not true.

I just wanted to make thing post short and simple. You, as the reader have no idea what conflict this was about. But thats not important. Infact, that does not even matter. The fact is, I was wrong, very wrong and my parents were right. My dad especially was trying to point something out, and I didnt even listen to him, because I thought I was utterly on point. After some thought about our discussion, I confronted my parents again. We talked, and everything was better. Point is my parents were right, and I even felt embarassed admitting to it.

Experience. Experience answered not only this conflict however many others. My biggest realization why my parents were basically right about everything was because of experience. My parents are more than 3 times older than me... They have 3 times more experiences than I have.

I need to listen to my parents more.
