Life is a game of football. You are the ball and you are bound to be thrown and kicked about.  How long have you to bear this treatment?  Until the air is full in the ball.  Deflate it, and no one will kick it again!  The air that inflates is the ego.  When the ego is out, Bliss comes in. Remove the ego in you and make yourself useful to your parents and society. Do not belittle others or your parents as illiterate or ignorant. They are far more knowledgeable than you are. Never cause tears to fill the eyes of your parents. Love them, revere them and serve them. Be humble and loving, and in the company of good and Godly.  Remember the Name of God indicating His Glory, His Mercy, His Love... All egoistic feelings will flee away from you.

Conquer anger through fortitude. - Baba
