I often hear people saying 'If I do this, what will others think, what will the society think, what will friends think & what not' but what I think is, when we believe in something, why do we have to think about the society???
If it's family we care about & don't do something coz it would affect (Hurt) the family, that can be acceptable(in some cases) but just not doing something coz of the fear of the society somehow doesn't sound good to me. No one from the society comes to feed us or walks along with us in the bad phases of life, then why care for such people???
Yes, man is a social animal & we have to stay in the society, but what's the point in living with the society by sacrificing your own happiness??? Modern day generation knows what to do & are not even concerned about people's opinion but it's the parents who think that the society will think bad about their child & all.
So for the parents : As far as you know your child well & know that he/she will never do anything that will cause difficulties for him or the family, just let them follow their happiness. Even if it's something which might cause him/her a little problem, let it be. At the end of it either they will get happiness or a good lesson.
Most important thing is 'To do what you BELIEVE in'. If you believe something is right for you, just go for it, the ones who matter won't mind & the ones who mind, won't matter. This will help you learn in life & later you won't regret saying, had I done this or Had I done that & what not.
Such things are difficult in life but then life is about difficulties only & strong people don't fear such things. Such thing don't often go well with many people, but then I voice my opinion coz I believe in it. I don't think what others will think about me.
So Nike (just do it :-P )
