Does the poem father to son talk of an exclusively personal experience or is it fairly universal?

1 Answer

  1. The situation described in the poem is quite universal. In almost every house, there is communication gap because of generation gap. The thinking of parents and their children differ. With changing time, the children face new challenges. There are new situations and new type of problems. The parents who have not seen all this fail to understand their children.

    On the other hand, the children are often depressed and in chaos. Like their parents, they also fail to understand their elders and thus generation gap appears. Relationships are very delicate and difficult to maintain. It takes year to build them and a few moneys to destroy. Hence, we should try to understand each other and talk about our problems and our feelings.
