Thank you for being yourself

in #life6 years ago

It is the human nature to think about first the needs of yourself. Everyone wants something. You want to score a high point in your school. You want something from parents for your Christmas present. But someone may tell you that you should think of others’ needs. Yes, you should. That is how we got the new concept of Thanksgiving. The original idea for Thanksgiving was giving our thanks to God for great harvest. But later we figured it out that there were more we should thank for. The family, friends, partners who keep you company deserve your thanks.

Other than that, actually, when you do something for others (a little favor is not included in the scope), an idea would slip in your mind- “what is in it for me?” If you will not help others just because you can get nothing from it, you would become a bad guy according to moral creed. However, of course, you do nothing wrong according to the laws.

As long as you do not violate the laws, technically, you can do whatever you want to do. Emotional laws, however, could be the barriers at most time.

When you want to hang out with your friend to get some fun, but since your parents are worried you cannot go. If you do go, then you violate the emotional laws, so you will be sentenced to “a bad boy/girl”. When you do not want to get married because you are a gay/lesbian, your parents, relatives, and even sometime your neighbors will curse you as an ungrateful child, a freak, or an abomination. You could be an ungrateful child only because you do not want a partner for the rest of your life or you could not find a girlfriend/boyfriend before you reach your thirties.

You might say not all the people do that. However, at least, in China, most of the parents who were born before 1990s can be very difficult or impossible to accept that you are homosexual, not interested in getting a partner or having some problems with looking for a partner. That is a truth in China.

But, do not be afraid of being yourself. Because you are not alone! With the development of China, the new generation of the people who was born in 90s is gradually taking over the country. New concepts of being happiness and living a happy life are rooted in the mind of this generation. Only if we keep us stay us, can the world be altered from the old one into the new one. We are facing a bright future. Being yourself to make the world better. Thank you for being yourself.
