I say this because i feel its not our parents who are actually responsible for what we are and how we are... things lik schooling, discipline etc etc in the early ages of our lives are no doubt in our parent's hands but then after schooling wen a boy or a gal enters college and beyond i dont think parents have anything to do or have no role to play other than paying our education fees ;)...leaving out the people who end up listening to their parents with a blindfolded belief and trust on them..
I very strongly feel parents exist only to leave us to a particular stage from where its adios to them and hi hellos to some special people in life who influence and mould our lives forever..
there are many such roles.. for example in my life.. my teachers have played a major role in my outlook towards life.. I still remem my economics sir of my high school who taught so well and who influenced my thought process so much that today im completely soaked into that subject and doing my masters in it..
Another good example was my international relations lecturer in degree college who spoke about life and things regarding them that now my bent of mind and thought process has completely changed...
And then friends... luckily all the friends i ve made are all good or rather i saw to it that all my friends are nice and good hearted people to hang around with. and now when i think of all these events and all the different people whom i have met have all played a very significant role in shaping up my overall personality...
Practically if looked into this... Al of us right from secondary schooling and pre univ. age hardly spend time at home with parents and siblings or any of our blood relations... if looked all of us have spent majority of our lives wit our classmates wit our teachers and predominantly friends... We get up in our houses and finally get back home only to sleep or rather spend the night at home coz we tend be and ought to be good children at home only then our parents get pleased or else im sure not many socially active people would even like to that....
And if looked at it statistically... an average Indian boy or gal spends his life at his home until he is 18 for those who end up studying out and 21 for those of us who study in the same city.. and after our education we start working and once we start working we very soon become independent and tend to search for a good partner and finally get married by late 20s... so its only 20-25 years that we actually spend our lives wit our parents.. we may spend our lives with them even after that but after that they may not live for too long and may pass away once they are 67 taking into account the average life expectancy index of india...
So according to me THE TWO IMPORTANT PEOPLE who hold the key for anyone's happiness and well being is 1) a good friend and 2) a good wife/husband or boyfriend/ gal friend who are not married... Because we often tend to be careful while talkin to our boyfriend/gal friend and when we cant speak somethin to them we can always flush out that anger or pain to our good friend..
And most of the times in most people's lives a gud friend ends up becoming the boyfriend or gal friend if he/she is of opposite sex... therefore one has to very carefully choose these two personalities very carefully...
And i have already got an amaizing frnd in my life for the rest of my life.... and im sure she ll never take the position of an amaaizing gal frnd but still ll remain my best friend ever in life and the same applies to her.. im nt sure if she can or cant live without me but im very sure i definitely cant live without her love and support and here i mean living as nt just being alive.. i mean being alive happily... im sure even if i get a gal frnd my mind an soul will keep longing for her... no1 can substitute her...
Its only after all these sorta events in my life i felt parents just giv birth to us thats all... rest of all other things depends on what kind of people we meet and what kind of people we chose to live with...
