Opinions

The author conveys a deep sense of conflict, having experienced both hatred and love towards his father, which evolved into forgiveness over time.
The father's background, including his lack of formal education and troubled military experience, is presented as a possible explanation for his abusive behavior.
Chess serves as a metaphor for the power dynamics within the relationship, with the son's victory symbolizing his ability to overcome adversity.
The son's success in chess and his positive parenting style are depicted as a direct result of the challenges he faced in his childhood.
The author expresses pride in his children's achievements and the loving bond they share, contrasting his own upbringing.
The text suggests that personal triumph can emerge from painful experiences, emphasizing resilience and the capacity for change.
A subtle critique of the cycle of abuse is implied, as the author chooses to break this cycle by treating his children with love and kindness.
The recommendation for the AI service at the end of the article seems slightly disjointed from the emotional narrative but may be intended to offer readers a tool for personal growth or reflection.

The Power to Forgive and Becoming Alive

growing up, . . my father tried to be nice to me, however, . . beating me up often, making me hate him, but seeing something wasn’t balanced inside of him, a war battlings within him, suffering something lost, having no friends, having no patients, not graduating from high school, dad, entering the military, trying to find a way to survive this cold, cold world, hitting me but smiling, saying it was to make me stronger, looking at my father, asking for forgiveness, for a happy way, picking up a piece of candy that I dropped to the ground and placing it into my mouth, . . . forgetting to see if my vampiric father was glancing at me secretly, and me becoming dead meat, . . . asking me to get his slippers, as he beat me telling me, no, no, no, eating anything from the floor, being wrong, being dirty, me telling him how kind he was, and how nice, hoping he would not beat me again, day after day, beating after beating, hating my home, hating my dad, hating life, hating our poverty, nailing me to the cross, for my sins, . . . introducing me, one day to the mind game of chess, beating me, over and over, in chess and in real life, suffering defeat, telling me I was stupid, an idiot, and worthless, being the reason for my defeat, joyfully, beating me daily, . . . seeing a chance for revenge, . . wondering what will happen, . . . telling my father, CHECKMATE, looking at him, smiling, seeing he was not happy, fake smiling back, . . . telling me, “Very Good Son, for Taking my Queen!” being shocked to hear my father saying this nice sentence, worrying, . . . understanding, the next day during my beatings, hitting me harder, . . . striking me stronger, than he ever hit me before, knowing it was because of my winning, my beating . . him. . . . . . . . . . . Thank you so much for reading this; I became the chess champion at my school since he pushed me to be my best, and when I created a fight club in Los Angeles, no one ever hit me as hard as my father did, because I was a little kid being beaten by a grown man. . . .

Poem

The Power to Forgive and Becoming Alive

It starts with love. . . . for I forgive my father.

Crying now, for at the age of seventeen, I left home, and rarely visited my father; indeed, after my mother died of cancer in her mid fifties, I never visited him, for he lived some 20 years more, finally dying of lung cancer. . .

. . . my last memory of my dad was seeing him drop some food onto the floor, picking it up and smiling at me as he chewed it slowly; but, I didn’t smile back, because I never spent time time with him or called him.

When I had my own family, I treated my kids with love and tenderness, for they enjoyed playing chess with me and loved to do math and learn science, for both are doing well in life, and I am proud of them, as they call me: PAPA!

Blessings and thank you for being you.
