I was on my way home and I realised I got carried away discussing abt the parent-child issue. far too agitated, I reckon. Seriously, I have always taken parents' responsibility to be the greatest on Earth. To the child, they are not only the one who brought them to Earth, they are their guardians, their saviours, their everything. Hence, maybe I have been a little extreme, but I still firmly believe that parents shld shower all the love they have on all their children equally. Pls don't give lame excuses like I prefer my younger child as I feel a strong affirnity with her, or I love my older child more as she is more obedient to defend your biasness which is already wrong frm the first place, no matter how u defend it. Simply said, the excuses that parents will give are all BULLSHIT.
and although I had not read Sister's Keeper, the storyline keeps me pondering. The tot of whether the child is right to sue her parents keeping poping up in my mind. This, I may have to finish the story first before coming to a conclusion but, personally, I have a sensitive spot for biasness issues. I have high expections of parents, dunno y. I just dun see y children are subjected to discrimination and biasness when they are born frm the same womb. If u not ready, pls dun be a parent. If u tink u r ready, pls be prepared it is a lifelong committment. Don't ever practise biasness because ur kid had done nothing to deserve it, if they did, it will be because they are born frm ur womb. And also for god's sake, dun ever create a life just to save another life. It will only hurt the younger kid more when they come to earth knowing that they were merely a life saving tool in their parents' eyes..
I have a wish, to hope that all parents in this world will give all their children whom they had not loved as much a chance to let them prove to their daddies and mummies how wonderful they are..
