Nails on the wall

COMMENT | Once upon a time, there was a father who had four sons.

He never really prioritised his sons or gave them the love and attention they needed - well, except for one who was his favourite of course.

As time passed, all four of his children grew up.

His favourite son grew up to become a spoiled brat - having been ever so pampered, he continued making demands from his old father - and his father, fearful of losing his favourite son's love, continued to fulfill them.

The other three sons had to work extra hard. While their father was busy doting on their brother, the three of them struggled at school and at home – but they persevered. They soon grew up, each successful in their own fields.
