Our dreams drive our lives. Dreams provide a sense of stability in the unstable, unpredictable times. But often our parents’ expectations become a burden on our shoulders and their dreams, an obligation. Many parents tend to impose their decisions on their kids when it comes to career building. While they intend to make their children doctors, scientists, and engineers they unknowingly kill their child’s innocence and set them up for a lifetime of rat race, showing complete disregard for their aspirations and happiness.
The common mentality among parents is that kids are too immature to know what is good for them. While this might be true to some extent, do they ever consider what interests their child? A hand that could paint beautiful canvases is handed a stethoscope. A mind that had an extraordinary prowess to weave stories is made to solve equations and figure math problems. Can a person who is made to give up on their dreams for the sake of a secure career ever find happiness? Is it fair of parents to force children into fulfilling their dreams even when they know the career path curated for them is of no interest to the child?
