One girl came to me who wanted to run away from her family. The reason was:
1. I cannot wear clothes of my choice
2. I cannot cut my hair as per my choice
3. I cannot take up study of my choice
Do that!
My parents get hurt. It is their choice to get hurt. But how would you manage? She said that she is working and earning well. But for her parents she is living with them. But you said that you are studying. She wanted higher studies but parents wanted her to get married because relatives are pressurizing them. (She talked to her parents and told them that she is ready to leave but her priority is study and they accepted her. Though it sounds like blackmailing but this was the reality and lots of times we do not accept reality. They could build a more honest relationship after that)
A lady did not want divorce despite of daily domestic abuse because she was worried that people would call her divorcee.
One 21 years old boy asked his father to quit family business and start another one. His fathers only concern was what would others say?
One 60 years old gentleman wanted to book a home in old age society. So that he could be with his age people. His son and daughter in law had a very busy life. The son was upset that what would others say rather than making an effort to keep his father happy.
This is one life. People have opinions based on all stupid reasons. Sometimes I find it funny that people like to suffer because of the simple fact that what would others say? We create a society of pain and suffering not of freedom and love. When you are free you give freedom to others which create love and respect. When one person is suffering he makes others suffer. Common thing we hear is even we did this (So you also have to do) and it happens like this only!
Irrespective of age we all have right to be happy, to be who we are, follow our hearts. Lets create a free society a loving society. Set yourself free. Be who you are. Its one life, do all what you like. Be happy!
