i made a new revelation bout my dad, and its funny that it took me so long to understand him. haha.
but i'm def seein him in a new light.
i use to think he was some old fashioned hilly billy, but apaprently his views are pretty modern and open. Probably not on ALL subjects but def on quite a few subjects.
namely religion, and how its being accepted or practised nowadays, since that was what we were talkin abt just a while ago.
he talked abt life and how religion is never ur ticket arnd.
its like if one was too deeply involved in their religion, it wuld be like walkin down a road where there's a hole right in the middle of the path. at a fork u haf a choice to turn towards another route, but if u juz go stright with ur beliefs, it'll be like stupidly walking into a ditch.
he also mentioned that the world is so diversed. everyone's got their own beliefs, culture and preferances. if ur just gona stick to ur own belief, and be completely blinded by it and devouted to it, and not respect other religions and cultures, just because u belief ur own notions are the one and only, then it just shows how narrow u are.
u may believe in one belief, but one always has to be receptive to other cultures.
especially in a period and time like our era.
one can't go, 'oh i'm a buddist and because i'm that, i'll NEVER step into a church'. or vice versa.
its about respect. if ur there, u accept and respect and understand. no one's askin u to belief. just accept.
and i found it cool that my dad had all these notions cause i always thought he had a hang man's noose kind of concept towards the traditional ways of life and was really strict abt followin them. apparently not! (:
i'm enlightened.
and if u could see his conviction! hahaha, now that was something.
first time i'd seen him speakin on a subject so enthusiastically other than me needing to study for a better future.
don't they all do that? parents i mean. sometimes i think it so cliche. and ironic. since there they are preachin bout the goodness that studies bring, then shouldn't they haf done it for themselves before?
*shrugs
the ironies of parenthood.
ok i've got geog test tmr and wad am i my muttering away.
toodles.
