Of a way that is long, sunny, clear, but filled with bumps and obstacles. U look back and see what you passed through and as a human u would of course re-visit what you've missed of chances and exits, the exits are a lot and some of them are really pretty, but some of those who have installs some sort of X-ray gadgets to their vehicles could look beyond the exit and try to predict where they lead to.
Can't help but take a pretty exit on the first time though. There is always a first time for everything, and well.. I guess our parents are supposed to prepare us for the first tough colorful exit we take. We can't remain in their protective vehicle all the time, at a certain stage we must leave and experience for ourselves. Now normally - and I've been observing that for quite long now - a parent in my society understands "preparation" in a very shallow materialistic sense, which is to just provide the offspring with all the possible tangible things possible so as not to make him suffer in the future.
The problem is that comes with total neglectance mostly with what is DEEPLY needed for a human being to survive his life on his own. I can have a car and a house and still commit suicide. I can have a gaming platform all my life since i was a child and everything I ask for is granted, but then how does that add to my self-esteem and sense of achievement and leadership, and what does that do to my conscience? It is known that in order to shape a piece of iron you will have to heat it up red hot, and keep knocking knocking knocking..... knocking, till it takes the desired shape. Let us assume that the child is a red hot piece of iron - and that he is given his amazing thirst for gaining knowledge and values - what if you want to engrave a value inside him? A certain fact that you wish for him to take along his way?
Do you say "he is still young, not now!", or "let him live now he's still got a lot to see!".. well I'm afraid that's all complete nonsense and idiocy, guaranteeing the offspring a miserable adult life, without any sense of achievement which is what a human being lives by, and without it his life would be a complete failure. Your engraving of values inside the offspring gives him a meaning to live by. Your engraving of material inside him by making him believe that this is all what's life about (indirectly because you provided nothing beside material) and so he enters the highway without any sort of protection against colorful exits, he could spend a whole lot of 10 years on a losing exit, and hitch the rest of his way, right?
Building on the conscience gives a human the sense that cannot be explained in words, and cannot be comprehended except by those who have it, simple as that! An exit doesn't "seem" good, one might take a few steps in it but retreat sooner than later. A protective gadget is installed called conscience, and specially that conscience with God that makes Him (God) throw His mercy on the human being, showing him things others don't see, and all for the sole purpose of building on the conscience of the human more, in order to reach the end of the road and meet Him with a clear conscience, even if the human doesn't know it.. He is the All Merciful
It could be like a scenario where that human does huge efforts in raising his offspring with a distinct conscience, then God rewards that human by continuing the raising of the offspring Himself once the offspring is on the road on his own. and it sure is one nasty road, and if it wasn't for the All-Seeing All-Hearing one could've ended up in a ditch somewhere cursing the day he took that exit that has all the sweet-looking sweet-smelling things possible.
Alhamdulillah
