As humans continue to find ways and means to improve the lives and the environment for everyone, be it technology, green car, etc. There is an aspect of complexity that we ourselves cannot change, and that is matters of the heart.
It has been coming to 2 years since the day I got married to my Queen when we finally went through the Chinese Customary rituals of marriage blessing.. Some hurting words said still lingers very much in the hearts of our own. Hoping to get blessing from the elders is what all young couple yearned for and what was not gotten will always be remembered.
My buddy who had recently got married is having similar "matters of the heart". His queen apparently does not communicate well with his elders. I can tell that he felt "sandwiched" and troubled by it.. Although my queen is much more understanding in this aspect, her emotional breakdown everytime she recall the hurting words does not help in strengthening the relationship. She just loved to be loved and loved to reciprocate like how she treat 大舅 and 大舅母. I can sense that she respect both of them a lot and is always forthcoming to attend functions and occasion whenever they are around. How could I blame her? Filial piety is probably the most fortunately values that both myself and my queen values, but who is there to understand us then?
My learning lessons was my advice to my younger colleagues in hope to prevent more of such cases in the society that we live in and of course, the education of my young ones before we turn old one day.
