The Use of 'Can and Can't' & 'Do and Don't'

What can and can’t they do?

 Every child who comes into this world is born in the religion of Nature irrelevant of the religion of his/her parent. But “Can” & “Can’t” “Do” & don’t” chase him from the cradle to the grave. In his infancy, he tries to understand the movement of his mother’s finger moving right and left showing “don’t” or “can’t”. For a child is inquisitive of any particular action of which he himself does not know about, but “don’t’” is there before him. When the child gets older and starts to understand, he hears the words “don’t do that” or “No you can not do this, you are too little”. Up to the age of eighteen, these 'don’t' and 'can’t 'are the recitation of his parent’s, some lesson of which they themselves do not know or it becomes the song of his teenage years. After eighteen years now the great problem starts. Heavenly instructions start to bombard. “No, it is not allowed in the religion.” “Why can’t I mom! I love her!’ “No you can’t she belongs to another religion, and we are from this one.” “In this case I’ll adopt her religion” “NO YOU DON’T, YOU CAN’T” “Mother yes I can, what’s the big deal in it, this religion or that religion,” “I HAVE SAID ONCE AND FOR ALL YOU CAN NOT DO THIS - IF YOU DO YOU WILL BE OUT OF THIS HOUSE”. Then the boy gets married, and sometime later he with his WIFE starts the same lesson with their own children. So this “Can” & “Can’t” “Do” & don’t” is such a lesson which every child who opens his eyes into this world not only has to face but himself or herself will have to recite for their own children. Life is "DOES AND DON’T" AND "CAN AND CAN’T", and nothing else.

  • Hi Mishaikh,

    The first thing that crossed my mind after reading your blog is, there is always two things in this world including do and don't, can and cannot, yes and no and so forth. So, it is always the reason behind all of these. Though, sometimes we don't need the reasons to do and not to do the things (it has correlation with the religion rules). 

    Thanks for sharing this values with us, you brought this topic in your style.

  • Always you are teaching so many things through your blogs.Really you are a silence teacher.But your words always open eyes.Especially, by your theory, you are trying to teach big lessons of humanity as well as English.

    Great job!

    Thank you so much dear Mr.Mishaikh!

  •        Wow, I can't stop my self from rereading the topic more than two times, but I can stop it from ignoring such topic. My friend, I think can and can't will be effective on our lives just when we master our own lives. But if our lives are mastered by others, do and don't will be more effective on them. So, I always do my best to be the only master for mine. My best for you my friend.
