The movie "A Father not so Father" is of Mexican production and although it is full of humor it contains a lot of messages that we can apply in our daily life and in our Interior growth.
the generation gap ...
In the movie we can appreciate a father and the relationship he has with his son, the smallest of the family. It is no secret that most people have experienced what is known as the Generation Gap and although it seems that we navigate without difficulty through it ... it is more difficult than it seems.
The intergenerational relationship is usually plagued with labels, for example when we see our grandparents we may think they are outdated, that they don't enjoy music, that they don't understand young people, that They are formal, strict and rigid. The reality is that we have not possibly given ourselves the opportunity to appreciate everything they are fully.
If we do not appreciate it in the grandparents, we can also see it in our parents, uncles or close friends who gave us advice or guidance at some time, they taught us maybe to To see how easy and exciting it is in the complex, the richness of the experience and what was easy for them, difficult in the course of the years. In addition, when we live with tolerance, we allow a good dose of humor to be added to learning.
the labels collapse
For example, what do we feel if we visualize our grandmother or any other important loved one in our life that by hugging us fills us with good wishes and a sincere tear of unconditional love appears on her face, or our grandfather, perhaps with a face Tired of the hard work that sits next to us and asks us, How have you been in school? Do you have friends? Do you like what you study? ... Do you want me to play with you? ... It is in these moments that the labels collapse or at least we must allow that to happen.
On the opposite side we can see that young people are sometimes seen as not very serious, oriented only to fun, without significant obligations and in some way as people who have nothing to contribute due to their short experience… .this also It is the result of the labels that limit ... on many occasions the spontaneity, motivation and passion that they print on what they propose is something that we can value and enjoy.
respect and tolerance…
This film shows how they collide or meet, so to speak, two generations, to discover that what unites them is not age, nor the accumulated knowledge is really respect for the preferences and customs of others, attention to Significant details and tolerance of what is unfamiliar to us… enjoy the company rather than focusing solely on differences.
At the present time this seems utopian, something like that perhaps only in our dreams is possible and it is not like that ... some realized teachers affirm that the serious mistake that we commit is to look for in the complicated the simple secret of happiness.
more than just humans…
When we put aside our self-centered views, we observe that the happiness of those around us feeds us, it is as if they give us a rich dose of acceptance ... we must really understand that we are kind, compassionate and loving beings that we conform to just being human and our nature is more than that is a world of infinite compassion.
Do not miss this movie, watch it with the lenses of introspective analysis and delight yourself with the differences of ages, tastes, customs and circumstances.In reality if we allow it we are turning our path or life into a laboratory of personal growth and well-being.
