RE: Share your thoughts! Life experiment legacy
@damarth, In this part of the world where i come from (Nigeria), every parents thinks what ever they say are always right and should be obey by their kids, not bad but i really don't think its meant to be so because everyone has his/her right to make decisions and should be ready for the end point.
The reason why my parents still thinks that what ever they say for me, i should obey no matter what. It was a cool evening when my dad called me that i should follow him to one of his buildings to see how far the bricklayers have gone, although i had the plan to go and see a friend that evening so i told my dad that i can't, so my dad left angrily and that moment i felt i had the right to make decisions myself. I went ahead to see the friend but when i got there, i was told he when to the junction to buy something. So i decided to go and meet him there since i could locate the place, so i went to meet him there but getting there, they where two of them( I mean my friend and my friend's friend), after getting the stuff they came to buy,we all decided to go back to my friend's house and less i forget my friend had a motorcycle which they took to the junction, i was told to sit at the middle with the other guy behind me.
Having a sweet ride home but when we got to a point on a hill road, we add an accident and because i was at the middle, i couldn't jump off the motorcycle and that's how i broke my right leg. when my dad came back from the site that same day,meeting me at that condition trust me he was seriously mad at me and since then what so ever he tells me to do or says, he always want me to do it not minding my own decision and this is really not right for me. Despite the previous incident, that doesn't mean when ever i choose not to follow his own decision something bad will happen and that's the point i have been trying to make my dad see.
