Well. I have a rather...
weird and far far ahead topic here today.
See the pics?
Yeah, parenting.
Well, I was on my way to get my lunch
below my block.
Then I saw this parents holding on to their little boy
each one holding on to one of his small little palm.
Telling the child in such a sweet tone in Chinese, "Slowly walk, be careful."
For a moment there, I really thought that that was sweet.
I won't deny, I've had thoughts myself.
How would it feels like to be a parent?
I have to say, when I thought about that
I told myself it's going to be one hell of a task
because it's never easy to teach a child
especially in the modern society.
I've shared views with my friends
how we would want to teach our kids.
I told them that I wouldn't want to be rich.
I want my kid to live in a standard family that he or she
could learn what it meant to be content with things.
But of course, I've had thoughts of how that could backfire.
I mean as a parent you want your child to live a good life right?
What I'm doing is kind of the exact opposite isn't it?
So.. that's when I realized the difficulty of raising a child.
Speaking of that... I have to go back to that
same old topic I've emphasized on so much.
The society nowadays seem to move too fast ahead.
We don't realized what's happening to the future.
Honestly speaking...
Tell me what you see happening to kids nowadays.
I see so many of us getting stressed up.
Some are exposed to things earlier than expected.
Some are forced to do things that they shouldn't be doing
at a young age.
I guess we have to blame everyone
but at the same time, no one.
Contradicting but yes.
We can only look to change things.
Blaming everyone else will not change anything.
It's hard being a parent.
I thank my parents for raising me up to who I am now.
I feel fortunate and the adrenaline rush
to be out there in the future, doing my best to help people.
I also came to realize another thing
Parents very often want the best for their kids
But sometimes backfires and forces their children into a state of turmoil.
I guess what is the best
is not to choose the path or order them to take the right paths you see for them.
Because that suffocates them with the lack of freedom.
Instead, at times just to give them advices
and let their children choose what they want.
Unless it's really an extreme mistake not to be made,
kids more or less should have their freedom.
Of course, parents will worry a hell lot if their children chose the wrong path.
But life's never easy, not even for your kids.
But eventually if you can be there for them
when they need you the most
Most of all your actions means a lot to them
Being the best role model is the most important.
Being the best role model is the most important.
Of course I can't back up what I say
I'm just saying my thoughts.
I am not a parent and I'm far from becoming one.
Just my thoughts.
So. Please forgive me for any mistakes :]
A second life when you become a parent.
Hmmm.
