  1. DAY 19: Disrespecting Your Parents(?)

    Saturday, August 10, 2013

    I'm still trying to remember if I have ever disrespected my parents while I'm writing. Hmm, for me, I would always try avoid conflict with my parents, I don't like to argue with them, let alone raise my voice when I talk to them. I think it's because I'm such an emotional person, arguing with my parents always makes me feel sad and always leave me crying. Like when you're so mad till you cry? It's an unpleasent feeling for me so I do as best as I can to avoid conflict. 

    When I disrespect my parents, it means that I'm hurting them. But I think it's different when you do something / make choices and the action disappoints your parents and make them feel disrespected. Do you get what I'm saying? I know it might ended up to the same thing, but at least you're not doing it on purpose. It means sometimes you need to stand up for yourself, tell your parents what you want to do in life, show them that it's not as bad what they think it is. But if they would never agree with you, then you should do what you parents told you, they know better than you, have more life experiences and of course they makes the decisions based on their own reasons. We also need to understand why they make some choices eventhough it contradicts our own life choices. Parents have higher authorities than us, teenagers & young adults. But we still have the right to make choices. 


    I think I've disrespected my parents once or twice back in middle school. I don't really remember the problem though ._. On the other way around, my parents have never disrespected me either, you know, like calling names, yelling at me, throw things and what not. They're respect their children's choices, never force to do what we don't want to do, and always encourage us to pursue our dream job & passion :)

    Colossians 3:20 (NKJV)
    Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
