my parents were so kind and generous, yet they were so hard on me.

My parents were very kind, taking me about and feeding me well all the time.
Yet it was so strict, we were not like other people, not like the infidels.
I feared my father lest he shoud kill me.
So I quit the local youth gangs and became a pious servant of Gods.
My father endorsed me and helped me become a great student.
My mother enjoined me to meet the right people, and forget about losers, criminals et cetera.
I became friends with several people who became senior government officials in many countries.
My father became silent and quietyl cared for me in my illness, taking on the world as it was.
