The story: Nurkasih

Well, the synopsis of the drama is, guy strayed out of the religion in the parents (to the dad) and arrange the son to marry a religious gal of the father's choice, though both the gal and the guy were against the marriage and the guy has a gal back in Australia and the gal has an uncompleted dreams...it makes me reflect how selfish parents can be. Yes, I agree they want the best for their children, however, if your child thinks another person is right for her, accept her and not give him options which are dead end for him. I dont understand why parents in modern society react in this manner. Yes, true, this is just a story, but it is a reflection of the asian community, especially some minority groups who think very highly of their clans or groups, which to me is just stupidity. What the parents only ruin is their child's happiness and the other party who si with the child. Well, maybe its easier to look it from my view and give my comments as such as I am not a parent myself. Maybe I will never understand such circumstances and conditions as I have not reach to a point where I need to 'help' my child (if ever I have any) decide what would be good or bad for him/her. But at least, at this point of time, I am sure I will allow my child decides for himself or herself what would make the child happy. And will not give stupid conditions where I know the child has no choice but to accede to my demands.
