Seeking the right decisions in life.

They have said that the old ones know best. They have been through life’s struggles and won some battles. At their age they will give you an advice and say, “trust me, I’ve been there.”

Getting married at a young age would be perceived by them as a failure in the future. There was a couple who got married at the age of nineteen with the consent of their parents. The girl wasn’t pregnant at all, she just have to escape from her step mother who had been cruel to her.

In their house, she couldn’t call it a home, her mother died at a young age from breast cancer. His father shouldn’t get married after her mother was lost, that was what she ever wanted. But her father eventually got married after a year. She couldn’t accept the situation.

She didn’t opened her heart to love and she wasn’t loved back by her step mother.She became a wicked step mother on her sight because she had hatred on her heart. On the other hand, her step mother also revenged on her by mistreating her and her younger brother. She then begun hating her father for making the wrong decision of marrying her.

Life wasn’t easy for her but she have someone to love her, her boyfriend. Her boyfriend have seen the situation and asked her to get married. So that was it, they got married at such young age.

Her husband was just a student by that time. When his son was born he strive to finish his studies and he did it. He became an engineer with a family as his inspiration. Their two children were raised well and became professionals as well.

Now, they say that getting married late would be such a success. All are set, a fully furnished house, a car in the garage and a stable job to sustain the family.

A man at his young age would jump from a relationship to the other, just played around the bush and not really getting serious to relationships. He would wake up each day getting lazy with life. As if nothing is going to happen tomorrow, never thought of marriage, never his priority. At his mid thirty he realized he was not getting any younger so he then went to start a new life of living responsibly. He opened a new business and had it progressed well.

At his late thirty he found the one for him and got married. He had a son and is happily married. He then said to his father, “If only I got married at an early age I should have worked earlier for my son’s future and could have played around with my son at a longer period of time, now I easily get tired of running with him.”

It is right seeking the advice of the elders because they know more in life for they traveled farther in life. They know better but no one knows best. We make decisions but we never know what is best for us. For there is no guidelines on how to live life but just live life on a daily basis and make the best of it. Life is a battle and we should fight for life’s struggles and win the battle.
