FATHER KNOWS BEST
"Father knows best." As cliché as these three words may sound, it holds deep wisdom about the unique role a father plays in the family. A father's experience, instincts, and love often gives him insight that, even if not immediately understood, will eventually prove invaluable.
A father's wisdom is not about being unable to make mistakes, it is about seeing farther than anyone else. He may set rules that seem strict, offer advice that feels unnecessary, or make decisions that appear unfair in the moment, but more often than not, time reveals that his choices were made with foresight, to protect, prepare, and steer his children away from pitfalls he himself may have faced.
He is not driven by a desire to control, but to care. A father who knows best is not one who demands blind obedience, but one who has earned trust through consistency, sacrifice, and unwavering support to his family. He listens, weighs options, and speaks from a place of love, even when his words are not that which his children desire to hear. No father is perfect, and wisdom grows with time, but the best fathers are those who learn from their own mistakes so their children don't have to repeat them. They balance discipline with understanding, authority with compassion, and guidance with the freedom to let their children forge their own paths.
In a world that seems chaotic and littered with a lot of uncertainties, a father's steady presence is a compass. His lessons may not always make sense at first, but sooner or later, life has a way of proving that he really does know better, not because he has all the answers, but because his love helps his children find them. Happy father's day to all fathers.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
