Hi!
I saw a movie ' 3 idiots'. Don't worry I am not going to reveal the story. It has a message in it which I would like to share with you. A nice message about life. It is about mental pressure which a child carries to fulfill his or her parents' dreams. Think ! I mean I don't know that you are married or not , or you bear a child or not, but think. If you have a child or whenever you have one you will think of something about his future. I bet you will.
I would like to put forward something old but something new on this. In India we have caste system. We used to have 4 basic sects of masses namely : 1) Bramhins (is the class of educators, law makers, scholars and preachers of Dharma in Hinduism), 2) Kshatriya (warriors or protectors), 3) Vaishya (Traders, Merchants, Money lenders, etc) 4) Shudras (Labourers, craftsmen, potters, etc.). Now a days it has been put into awareness to not to discriminate by the caste system.
You might be thinking that why this topic over here. These 4 basic sects or as called as varnaswas on the basis of the work and profession. A groom belonging to particular sect or caste used to marry bride of the same caste. So their offspring who will unconditionally follow the profession to which he belongs. This might be due to the impressions which are made during their upbringing. Also might be due to one more reason- may be the genes that are carried from the parents influence the inclination towards profession.
Just imagine when an engineer marries a doctor what will their child follow.
Just give it a thought !
I like your post. The point or message that you have tried to get to us is very well said. Yes the earlier practices and thoughts of following the same occupation werethe reason other aspects of personal life were based on it. I like the question you have risen at the end of the post :)
ReplyDeleteBut I believe in today's world, children choose what they wish to be in their future but I also believe that for the Child to choose their career, parents should guide them to explore different avenues or atleast get a glimpse of all the possibilities that exist and also through their childhood try to know their child's field of interest to be able to encourage them and help them develop their passion for the same.
