mothers stop being mothers


Women become mothers the minute a tiny human cell forms
inside. Mothers become lovers the minute they love their baby. Lovers
become killers the second they sign the form to have their child unwind.


Most people in the book I’m reading, unwind by Neal Shusterman
believe that it’s alright to have their child unwind, killed painlessly and
given their body parts to people who need it just because the law says it’s alright.
The law states from ages of 13 and 18 you can have your child unwind and really
your child won’t be dead because his body parts will still be working.


But I say that not even parents have that much control over
us. They can bus us around, they can scream at us but they can never choose to
have us killed or unwind. We are our owners when it comes to life and death.


And are we truly alive when our body parts are still working?
I believe that all people have a soul.  “It
is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a
man,”


It is us. The true us inside the body, the only thing no one
can reach, no one can kill. The one that is alive forever. But dead in the
world when it is separated from the body.


I believe we are really a soul taking a body and using it
till it dies and rots, or when it is killed. And we cannot be alive without
that body.


What I don’t understand and don’t want to understand is why
mothers will have their child unwind. They have passed through 9 months of pregnancy,
13 or more years of care and still that’s not enough. If the kids such a problem,
like stealing or doing drugs mothers should reason with it. They could help the
child, because as grownups mothers know how it felt to be a teen. Mothers must
work hard and never give up. That’s why mothers are called mothers because they
care for us love us and will give up their own life for us.


They are the people who put us on track. Make sure we turn
out good adults. And most importantly love us. If mothers just unwind their kid
what will be he point of being called mothers.


I am thankful that my mother didn’t just have me to have me
unwind by age 13. I am thankful that she loves me and won’t ever choose to get
me killed. And I am thankful that she gives her own life for me.
So be thankful that your mother doesn’t want you unwind.
