Recently I can't help to quarrelling with my father whenever we begin a conversation. I don't know why. Every time after the quarrel, both of us fall into silence for a couple of days. The tense atmosphere makes us feel more upset.
We have completely different perspectives to most the objects. Sometimes, I find his opinion is worthy, but nonsense on some occasions. I consent to think whether it reasonable or not. On the other hand, my father never thinks over my viewpoints, just keeping repeating his standpoints, without any logical deduction and practical test. I acknowledge that there are some elements of truth in his thoughts, but I just can't stand that he is apt to get angry whenever I have a distinct idea from his about some topic.
My mother asks me to be obmissive because he's my father and I should show my respect for him. She tells me avoid discussing with him. Gosh! I got absolutely confused. I'm always admiring my father, but I just can't be subject to all his ideas. I just want to share with him my views, but it becomes a no no.
I think of the case again and again, but I fail to figure it out. I find that people who grow in various circumstances will doubtless have different thinking modes. At father's generation, youths are asked to be obey the discipline, the leader, the collective. It's not allowed any dispute and dissent existing in their mind.
However, times have changed. With our country develops, we need more creative thoughts and comprehensive sight field to face the challenges from the world in the 21st century. The students are being encouraged to think twice before they adopt the opinions.
