Many people have a bad attitude but even they don’t know the cause of it. They walk around hurting the people around them, causing pain to whoever is close to them, never addressing the root cause of their negativity. Their lives become a spitting image of what people should avoid. Yet, the reason for their negative behavior remains shrouded in mystery.

One book by Charles L. Blanchard reveals the source of people’s rotten attitudes. This book titled, “the seeds of self-destruction or SUCCESS ”uses a few examples to showcase what causes negative behavior in people. It also shows the cost of these negative behaviors and how they impact the surrounding people.

The Cause of Resentment

The story starts with the author’s recollection of his father’s abuse. He pens the endless beatings, the sleepless nights, and the hiding in his closet for safety from his father. As an angry and resentful man, his father avoided facing his life challenges and acted aggressively. This resentful approach of the author’s father turned him into a monster for the people who needed his love.

The cause of his outbursts was that he, too, was a victim of circumstances. Before the author was born, it was likely that most of his father’s story was a reflection of his own. His father must have gone through the same abuse or maybe even worse. However, unlike the author, his father was unable to see beyond the abuse and the bad behaviors, resulting in the loss of his morality.

The Cost of Resentment

His father could have suffered at the hands of his predecessors. No matter what, this does not justify his abusive behavior towards the author and his mother. Yes, he was a victim, but that does not give him the right to force others through the same torture. He could have been a hero and avoided his predecessors’ mistakes, but he chose to fall into the same hole as them.

He was never present during birthdays, emergencies, or any other occasion. Due to his resentment and anger towards the life he led, others, like his wife and son, had to pay the price. These were the people who needed this man’s love, but all they got was abuse and pain. No wonder the author’s mother decided to divorce him.

Conclusion

Luckily, Charles L. Blanchard’s father was not the only person in his life. There were others to love him. With time, his father only became irrelevant. This was the consequence of his father’s rude behavior. His father faded in memories and became an example of what a man should not be.

Blanchard’s father became the reason for writing the book “the seeds of self-destruction or SUCCESS ”, but not in a good way. It details how the author overcame his father’s abuse. Now, the author only sympathizes with his father because he, too, was a victim.
