Opinion of theFamily: Is it important?

Our family is the one to who we can lean on whenever we face problems and troubles. Specifically, our parents are the ones who brought us here in this world. With that, we are very thankful to them. But is it right that they are the ones deciding for our self? Every time we need some support, we always run to them. However, why do they always enter in terms of our decision?
Nowadays, we always hear children complaining that their parents are the ones deciding for their life. Be it on the course they will take up, on the outfit they will wear, on the kind of friends they should have, and most of all on the person that their children should love.
In my opinion, it is not correct that they will decide for us. It is because we were given by God own minds to think, own principle, own belief and we have different feelings. We can decide on what we think is right. I am not saying that we will not consult on them regarding our problems. But it in the end, it is still our decision.
Take for example, their comments on the person you choose to love. At present times, they used the physical appearance of the person as the basis for the girlfriend/boyfriend of their sons/daughters. They want that the girl/boy should be pretty/handsome. Some parents looked on the financial stability of the person. I really do not know why they are like that. Beauty is not important. It is the attitude of the person that matters most. If this incident will happen, it shows that the rich are just for the rich while the poor are just for the poor. And this not good. With this kind of problem, it is still their son/daughter’s decision in the end. I just hope that their children will not be influenced with their parents just because of those decisions.
All I can say is that the parents have their rights to say what or to give advices towards their children. But I do hope that they also know that they also have limitations in the field of decision-making of their children. I hope that they will listen to what their children’s views on things. They will understand and let their children decide for theirselves.
