Don't u think western culture on growing up their kids are more sensable than Chinese culture?
C the chinese people, who do the parents work for?? For the kids future they said.. And when the kids have grown up, the kids have no struggle and fighting spirit, coz their parents have already given all they need in financial for their 'future'
Then, C what happen to the parents?? They live depend on their kids' charity & responsibility in financial. And if their growing up kids don't have a charity sense and not responsibilty enough, what happen to the parents? The parents live in broken heart and frustation. After the whole life work for the kid's future, and here it is, take what has left for the parents. If nothing's left, well.. Live as it is u could..
Sometime what the western has taken for their life, is not wrong. We have judged as if they live too individually & egoist. Actually, they don't.
Like Kahlil Gibran's prophet; Kahlil Gibran said that we do not own our kids. So, when the time kids can stand on their own feet-when kids have grown up on their working age, let the Nature Law takes control. Let them fight for their own life. The parents' obligate have finished.
So, the parents work for growing up their kids till time they can work on their own, then the parents can work for THEMSELVES preparing their pension money. So the parents do not need depend on their kids' charity. When the parents have passed away and still got money left, the kids may have it as inherited.
But If we follow our society culture about this, then we will never pension! We are pension when time for us to be sick and lay on the bed. Then when will the parents enjoy their life ???? Only when the parents were kid?????
Even, wedding party shd be on the bride and the broom's cost, not the parents cost. The parents have no obligate to hold a wedding party for their kids at our society standard.
The person who plan for their wedding party shd be on their work age and has a job. What a very glamorious & expensive wedding party for, if the new wed couple's financial life after marriage is so-so?
