Should We Do What We Love?

My mind goes into June when I started my college life. It was around three years ago when I was accepted in the High Class University in my country. Well, I guess most parents will be proud of their children if their children are accepted there. And either does my parents.

I know they were so  happy about it, but I couldn’t say I feel in the same way. Though I know I was accepted in the most wanted University, I wouldn’t feel happy since I don’t really like the major where I was accepted in. It was far away from everything I asked for. 

My mind goes into a short question, “Should we do what we love?”

I always think about it yet I haven’t got a definite answer. I know most people will say, “Yes.” They tell me to do more what I really love to do. They tell me to keep doing it as much as I can, as long as it makes me happy. But is it okay if doing something that I love will bring hurt to anyone else?

I know there’s must be a risk of everything that we choose. But should we sacrifice someone’s feeling in order to do what we love? Should we be that selfish in the name of our own sake?

I doubt, I could  give “a Yes” as an answer since I know I couldn’t do that. I always try to make someone happy though I should sacrifice my own happiness. But today, I think I should tell you this. That somehow people who is so kind is the one who gets the most hurts. And now I feel the same way.

Sometimes, I envy everyone who could do what they love without hurting someone’s feeling. I also adore everyone who could take the risk to do what they love though it will hurt other people. They could face it all make start it all over again to rebuilt their relationship. I often wish I could turn back the time and do the same thing. Sadly, time goes on and this time I should move on.

After all, I get the point of this condition. Just do what you love to do and don’t ever let anyone make  you stop doing that you love. Because it’s worth enough to fighting for. If you don’t, I’m afraid you will regret it all.

 

Most Parents ‘Lie to Children’

Do you think that parent can lie to their children?

I was thinking about this statement when I read an article that most parents ‘lie to children’. At the first time, I’m totally disagree that parents can do that to their children. But then, I realize that it’s really happened.

I bet you are familiar with these common sentences.

“I’ll buy it next time”

That’s the most commonly used lie. Parents usually use this lie to make their children stop asking for toys or foods that they want. Sometimes parents also use “I forget to bring my wallet. We’ll buy it later.” 

They use it to make an excuse to not buying the toys that their children want. Actually I disagree with this habits. If most parents keep doing this ‘lie’ to their children. Don’t you think that it will affect their behavior?

I’d rather to say the truth than giving such this lie to a children. Is it impossible to say directly that we can’t buy the toy with an honest reason? I was thinking that I’d rather say, “We can’t buy this toy because you’ve already had the similar one in your house.”

Another untrue statements is related to misbehavior , which included: ”If you don’t behave, I will call the police,” and: “If you don’t quiet down, the man over there will be angry with you.”

There are more examples of these untrue statements that parents usually use to their children. But this time, I don’t want to explore it more. I just want you to think about where the important moral things will go if parents keep doing this lie.
