Collection of my Thoughts

3. Thoughts about being a "good" child

Before my thoughts, I would like to share what my mom thinks is a quality of a "GOOD" child. (read whole before jumping to conclusion)

Here is what she thinks (I did not ask my mom, I know what she thinks), A good child does all the things his/her parent says, does not back answer elders, goes within the line and tries to blend in with the society, should respect elders, does not separately pop out of the society, behaves well mannered, "DOES NOT DRINK OR SMOKE", has good grades, has a nice hobby and profession, does not swear (swear-use of "bad" words), who wants to become a DOCTOR, does not have social media accounts, should not be in a relationship, speaks in a "good" slang, dress without any holes.

Here is what I think about this topic.

We can never say a child or person as good or bad. Everyone has their own way of living. I personally do not like to differentiate people or any habit as "bad and good", because everything that has been found is for use; like words, specific practices and habits. If we can't use them openly and not be judged by people then why the hell in the first place where those things found. Like being silent is good but answering back is bad (Shouldn't we like answer when asked a question), handshake is good but hugging is bad (typical Tamil parents), online class is good but online games are bad, high grades are good but low grades are bad (I mean by exam grades), and so on.

Who even categorised things as good and bad, and people doing those things as good and bad. Like who the f**k even came to know that these are good and bad. According to me, we can do whatever we like without affecting another person's life. We should never interfere in another person's life knowing that it would cause even a minor impact in their life, just for the sake "I like it so I did it".

So, if you guys want to go out alone, then be it go out alone. If you want to stay at home, then stay at home. If you don't like a characteristic of a person, then stay away from them. If you want to hurt someone's heart, just don't; DO NOT BREAK A PERSON'S HEART. If you want to drink, then go drink without hurting others.

So, to conclude, the one who I consider as a "good" child or person is the one who knows how to live their life, the one who knows to stand for their life, knows to respect everyone's choices, knows not to bring another person down, knows to love themselves.
