Hi, may I know your thoughts about this one? I am just wondering if some people allow other people to dictate what will make them happy.
Personally, I want to do what ever I think will make me happy as long as it is the right thing to do.

Of course not. Why I would let somebody else dictate what would I want that let me happy? Well, if the occasion would gain interests that favored on me, I think I would sacrifice for that moment but not all the time....Cheers

You have a point there. It is still fulfilling to be doing what you really want in your life as long as you are doing it the right way.

Personally i dont like any other individual interfering in my life so i dont like any one telling me what is going to make me happy or sad.. i believe god has given each one of us intelligence to think for our selves if its going to make us happy or not. Most of the parents think they know better what will make their child happy or sad but, i feel they hardly try to search the needs of the child as in what the child is looking out for .. whether what according to them is happiness for their child is really happiness or just pressure for the child.

I agree with you that it is quite disappointing to know that other parents try to dictate the life of their children from infancy to adulthood. Its so sad that some parents want to take control of the whole personal life of their kids thinking that "Parents knows BEST" and that it is in the Bible that children should follow and respect their parents' decisions ALWAYS.
For me, its not nurturing your children properly, but killing them slowly since they cannot decide for their own and they cannot try exploring their own world.

There are a lot of people who expect others to make them happy. Some think that is the way to happiness. Happiness is no more than a choice we all make for ourselves. We are the ones who choose what we deem important in this world. If we leave that choice to others, can we ever really be happy???
