Lovely hivers,
The focus shifted now to the issue of stereotype. Before I proceed, special thanks to all the participants and the management kudos for choosing this kind of topic.
I had to take deep breath and be in a good relaxed mood before I started typing. The subject matter is quite impressive and initially never wanted to dig into the past because sometimes it affect my advancement which makes me feel guilty hence detest it. Many at times theme like this makes someone share what could actually proffer solution to the challenge of the other. I will try and do justice to it and share my experience perhaps a remedy that someone had been looking for.
What's stereotype?
There could so many thoughts towards it but I would like to share my own as an oversimplified opinion or an image. To make it simpler, concluding or exaggerated image about some whereas it may not be true.

This often exist in the world we live today. People judge and conclude things about an individual without a concrete facts and at times ends up in a pseudo opinion. I had the privilege to come from a Levitical order where my parents were clergy.
There is this sort of believe that children from the clergymen are wayward. Therefore growing up from such background became a bit difficult to convince other because of the wrong ideology inculcated in them about clergy children.
I had the privilege to interact with some friends of similar background too says the same thing and made them live in obscurity with fear and intimation. As they start relating with some of us, their understanding was enlightened and there is a paradigm shift about that.

It was believed that the rate of atrocities like fornication, abortion and other evils are speared head by the pastor's children in a church. When I was about 10years, some people found it difficult to relate with me while others so afraid perhaps they would be defiled.

How I felt

Their perspective almost affected me such that I almost believed whereas I wasn't doing such. It created a little trauma and an emotional in balanced which makes me loose confidence even in myself. I also noticed that some times the desire to do the wrong thing keeps coming.

How I reacted and delivered from it.

Haven noticed such, I received counsel from my elder brother who sat me down and told me how relevant I am even as a clergy child. He said I shouldn't be intimidated at all because many are jealous of this kind of beautiful background therefore they tend to judge generally that clergy children are the source of evil in church.
I had the privilege to also study some life provoking books which also gave me a good direction.
Later, I was exposed to prayers where I consistently dwelled there and more revelation began to spring forth which solidified my confidence.

I have come to realised that what they judge isn't what we live. Is not good to just follow the majority it's better to sit and look at which way is the best. Later when I got to secondary school, my friends started admiring my lifestyle and asked me that so we still have clergy children like this? So committed and optimistic about life? That my life is an encouragement for them and a part they should follow.

As I type this, I have influenced quite a hundreds of clergy children who were under this siege and now they have a positive perception about who they are and not what others labelled them to be.

thanks for visiting my blog and all the comments appreciated.
