I was chatting with a friend one day, giving advice on overseas education. My friend led a sheltered life, and had trouble accepting the fact that the world around, the circumstances that had been given were less than ideal. It was driving my friend into a corner, forcing a decision out as though through torture. Of course human nature would want us to delay in making that dreadful decision. But in my advice I said that where you go, whatever you decide to choose, you must remember that it will never be perfect, because we are all humans.
After giving the advice, I realized that I myself have been forced to make decisions less than perfect. Sometimes I even know the consequences of my decisions and try to amend them. Sometimes I ask myself why did I make that decision knowing what would follow after. But what happened cannot be changed.
So what happens to people who grew up with ideal mindsets? Should we live expecting them to lower it, and become more realistic, or should we better ourselves so that we meet their expectations?
I love you inspite of everything.
