More Than The Life Giver

Dear world,
All the great men of the past were created by teacher and all great men will be created by them. Now it is sole responsibility of all men to respect the teacher. Where ever men is in wrong track, the teacher helps men to realize the right path. It is the teachers' kindness and love that we are now for. We earn more than million a year and live in beautiful and expensive house. All this things are mainly because the teacher have taught us to understand and know the truth of living.
But men has not yet realized the hardship taken by our great teacher. Instead men are against the will of teacher. Teacher punish us because we have done something wrong that will effect our living in future. And so they are trying to correct us by punishing us. It is not that they are against us, it is that they love and care us.
So, mate please make sure to respect them. If we can not respect them at least do not hurt them.
They are more than the life giver!
Some giver gives and take back but teachers are not like that.
They give and they always give but never takes it back.
All the great men are their product and do understand their hardship. Please do not harm them but love them more than your true lover.
