dear God, are our elders always right? does filial piety always mean following orders unquestioningly?
i don't mind. if ever there comes a day, i won't hesitate to do my duty. but now, we've all got our hands and feet. and somehow i feel that what i'm seeing is not right, and not the way it should be.
we are to depend on You in our weakness. but if we were to rely on others all the time, isn't that irresponsibility? if we were never proactive, is that not laziness too?
i've learnt that i have got to fight for what i want, such a simple age-old principle has been around for ages, so why don't older people understand?
i may not always be the most tactful person around and i don't mince my words. but i've never said a thing which i didn't mean.
if the way to go is to obey what others tell me. then i will follow.
but Lord, i am convinced that it isn't. i want to help her more than just doing things for her. i want to help her learn how to do things by herself, for herself.
help me, Lord, help me help her.
