"Lost" and fatherhood

"Lost", "Lost" It is one of the series that has had the most impact in recent times and now, with the sixth season, has returned with renewed momentum. I confess I follow the series and I go crazy lost around and around the possible explanations to so many mysteries.

Do you wonder what this series has to do with the theme of our blog? Yes, it has, and a lot, because "Lost" explores the consequences of the lack of love and respect towards children until their final consequences.

Surely among the readers of Babies and more We have followers of which some consider one of the best television series. And they will understand me, although anyone can identify with the plot I am going to talk about because it is about parents' love for their children.

I am not going to talk about theories, or the struggle of good and evil, or science and religion, or destiny and freedom, or even, of course, what the final mystery or explanation may be that reveals what has been All this time passed. No, that would be the subject we discussed, to talk about the series as a whole I refer you to our blog friend Vaya Tele.

I am going to talk about fatherhood, as a fundamental element in the development of children's personality and their future. It is one of the recurring themes of "Lost" and leads society, along this path, a fundamental issue.

The characters in this series carry an enormous weight that determines their past, their future, their reactions and their decisions. And this burden is that of terrible parents who marked them from childhood with abandonment, abuse or, simply, heartbreak and devaluation.

Redemption inevitably involves breaking with the past and making it different, so that children grow up with parents present, able to deny the damage suffered and not repeat it with the children themselves. Appreciate them, respect them for being as they are, without demanding that they meet expectations or judge them. Loving them, simply conveying to them that we like them as they are.

"You have what it takes"

And this is what I meant when I brought Babies and more "Lost." Each generation can be the first generation. Our ancestors, from time immemorial, conceived paternity as possession and abuse was justified in the name of education or with the excuse of the needs and tensions of adults.

But, as I was saying, we can be that first generation that refuses to repeat the sufferings we suffer on children and regain parenting as the space of regeneration of a society that does not repeat violence.

That's why when I see "Lost" I analyze the relations of fathers and mothers with their children, because it shows us that we have the greatest possible responsibility, to be better fathers than others were with us.
