Am I Matured or Immatured?
- July 19 2006
Well its now being the Nth time have I thot - Am I being the son acting irresponsible and immatured or is it my parents
I ask this myself when I sit down to think my past 1 yr life. One year back , I was working in the same way back in my lovable nation but with the secured feeling of staying in my nation and close to my family.I was being advised to be much more matured in my decisions and act towards my future. Well in response to those so called advices, I planned my future in India itself to move ahead in my career job , earn more , save more and ultimately make my future a better 1 to both me and my parents. But at this very juncture comes the comes this big Clash of thoughts and decisions in my life in the name of GENERATION GAP - ME Vs PARENTS.
I hope many of you @ this situation might have thought to stay back in our own nation - earn more and live ahead happily.My parents,who asked me to act matured advising "Son, its high time you see your career abroad.You will get more technical exposure.You will earn more".If you try to investigate the original brainmaster in such comments and preachings of our lovable makers,the initial source would be the so called SOCIETY
. Let me state an incident for this :
When I was at home for my vacations some time early last year, one of my close relative came up and had a tit-bit chat with my mom.She was asking about my job, where I work , how long I'm in job , etc . Now here comes the most anticipated member on our parents mind - she ultimately shoot THE Q
"Why is your son not into USA now?You know my father's X's Y's Z's is in USA.He earns this much and he already has got a apartment here you know.We have started to look alliances for him .Obviously now he will get big big alliances".
What would you expect out of this HIGHLY SENSITIVE ISSUE
. If u were in my stand - YES U got it. My mom came upto me,
after the Female NARADHAR left, saying
"karthi.see how they tell how big you can earn in USA?you don't u also try to go to onsite.
Its been around 2.5 years u r working.So ask for onsite and earn more son.Its for your future only.You earn more so you save more and invest thangam....blah blah..".
That very point of this advise triggers the big Question for me - Am I acting Immatured or is it them
Why do our parents who preach all things for our future , lend their ears to all those useless talks from those so called RELATIVES but not listen to our own opinions.(My
)Does these emotional blackmails from our parents really proving improvement in our own personal life Does that mean listening to them and working here denote - Am I leading a convincing life or compromising life When we the youngsters are so eager to spend our living and future with parents in our home nation with all the confidence to make out for our happy living, why doesn't the same prompt into our senior generation aka parentsAre we matured in this sense or not? May be this can be patriotism or Emotional Maturity in us?.But why doesn't this echo into our elders' minds who just want to see their products get marketed in the International market and earn more rather than staying near them and earn just for a happy living? Am I right or wrong in this regardWell lots of questions always do arise when we talk on something emotional and so does this issue.But does listening to them ,improves our lives or its just we are made to live happily with something thats not into our intentions of living?Well If you ask me I would say they are not wrong because I love them so much and yeah I'M AN EMOTIONAL IDIOT
Well the decision is ours to make for our life. I have decided to be here for some years for my parents' happiness and move back to my mother land for settling down which would be my own intentions .So does that mean I have lead my life convincing or compromising GOK
