Forging Chains
Chatted with a friend. She was worried bout her relationship w the bf.
Cos she had an genetic blood defect and so does the bf, thus if they hav kids of their own one day, the kid's most probably need blood transfusion for the rest of his/her life.
Sad really.
But it's still goes down to the matter of choice.
I mean, Angelina and Brad adopted even when they can afford kids of their own.
Why not u and I?
I mean, adoption, bringing in strangers' kids and making them our own; give em our name, shelter, love, care, food, teachings, life experiences and hoping they'd turn out better than us.
Wat's the big deal with adoption?
Let me tell u what's the big deal.
For the chinese society (me chinese, me live with chinese my whole life) they care a lot when they've to care for kids not of their blood and flesh cos they fear one day when they needed help, the kids would rather look for their own biological parents n leave their adopted parents.
Yes, I guess not only chinese society has such thinking, regardless of race, age or backgrounds, ppl fear for the unknown.
They fear of being left alone when they got older, they fear of nobody to care for em, they fear for themselves.
Let me tell u one thing; own flesh and blood doesnt ensure full security or even half of that security as we grow older.
There's no such thing as sure and confirm that one's own flesh n blood would take care of their parents, only the percentage is higher.
It all goes down to teaching.
A student may take care of his/her teacher or sensei when they grow older.
A stranger may take care of a lonely elderly just cos he/she felt a connection.
A kid may take care of a stray dog or cat from the alley.
And all of em, no blood nor flesh relationships are forged prior to the meeting.
What makes a kid willing to care for us when we get older?
The kid's belief, teachings, experience, knowledge and principles.
Therefore, regardless of own blood or not, any kid is precious cos they really are the next generation; either to care for us the veterans, or the world that we live in now, before they can pass on to the next.
"Teach a kid respect for the living, and they'll in turn, teach you something back." - ngy
PS : If u'd watched "Meet the Robinson", u'd know what I mean. I hope.
