Being forced into SOMETHING, why does it HAPPEN? - Page 2

When we were toddlers, we were forced to stand up and walk. The support with which we stood was abducted to enable us to stand on our own feet. We were forced to eat with our right hand and use the left hand for a different purpose (this being a typical Indian phenomenon though). As school children we were forced to do our homework and punished when we failed to do. We were forced to to switch off the television or the computer during late nights or even forced to return home soon before mid night. We were kids then. We were in need of force to have known to do right things and refrain from doing what is wrong. We certainly did not have the innate instincts prompting us to stay care free regardless of what could happen tomorrow. And one should agree to the fact that we have good values in us because we were forced to do them when we were kinds and henceforth instilling the proposition of doing things which are right.

To speak of coercion on the other hand, some parents even today force their children to take up the qualification they want to ignoring the desire of their kid. It is as blame worthy as its sounds. Some parents still consider forcing their kids to what they want to instead of realizing their age and the mental frame of kids of the present generation. In such cases, forcing them may lead to retaliation and coercion may backfire to parents themselves.

At work places, we are forced to dress up formally or reach the place on time. They are restrictions imposed on us and I do consider them as forcing us to do something, failing to do which we have to face certain consequences unfavorable to us.

I have to tell this, people of Indian families force their kid to marry the person chosen by them. Even after marriage, certain woman are forced to beehive the way their in laws want them to. I absolutely despise it when freedom is taken away from a person he entitled to. I wonder how many woman today face such crisis. How about woman being forced to give birth to male kids at first ? It is as creepy as it sounds isn't it ?

OMG! Ruky, I love your response! Very very true. We are crossing over from Bollywood now. 😆

Or my second ex husband who almost forced me to turn into a typical housewife? I was supposed to be dressed up like a christmas tree, cook food and invite peoples every day and at the same time squeeze out as many kids as possible. You can guess how that marriage ended.

Funny enough none of my marriages were forced upon me. :/
