PARENTS AND FAMILY: A HINDRANCE FOR LOVE

The story goes like this.

You learned to love someone after a breakup. You and that special someone developed a bond. Love between both of you exists, no doubt. There is no question as to how you feel. But here is the catch. Your parents including your brothers and sisters are against it.

In this kind of situation, what would you do? Are you willing to give up the guy or your family? Your parents are good parents. They have been supportive of you from the beginning. Actually, they gave you the freedom to choose whom you wanna spend your life with. The only hindrance thereof is that such guy should came from a decent family not from one where the family is known to have committed criminal acts. Can you not for once just listen to your parents and understand their point? There is no such thing as being blind when it comes to platonic love. One thing is for sure, oftentimes, parents are true and correct in what they say especially when it comes to their children.

Love comes at a right time. The real chance of love exists when everyone surrounding you are full of happiness because you have found the right person for you. Not that your feelings are ignored. Loving someone is not based alone on what you feel. It is of course the biggest factor. But then minute details have to be considered. We are living in a community where norms are created. When the real chance of love reaches you, think not only of how you feel but let your brain do some thinking also. After all if its indeed real love, it is open to some sacrifices for the greater good.

Parents normally know best for their children. They have been through life's ups and downs and they have learned their lessons in life the hard way. The only time when their recommendations should be considered clouded is when any or both of them have their own hang ups in their lives which they have yet to resolve. Such hang ups can cloud their sound reasoning and may even negatively affect the lives of their kids. Thanks for the post. God bless you and your loved ones always.
