There are some people out there that think they are right about everything.  It doesn't matter what the topic, they know the answer.  They will create a question just so they can prove they can answer it.  It drives me crazy.

We are human beings and are supposed to run our own lives.  Our lives are not to be controlled by others.  There is such a thing as compromise, which is very important, it's how we learn to play well with others.  There are some who do not know the true meaning of the word though.  They say that they are giving up something, but what they really mean is that they are expecting you to give up something.  I know life isn't fair, why should it be?  But, the ability to choose what we want for ourselves is something nobody should be able to take away from us.

Parents say they want what is best for us.  In many cases that's true.  That doesn't mean that we have to follow what they want for our lives, we have to figure that out ourselves, make our own mistakes.  We might not always be right, but who is to say that someone older would be any more right?  I am not against advice given from a friend, from a parent.  I am against someone overriding your fundamental right to choose what is right for you.

I know I haven't made much sense.  Just ranting today.  Sometimes people with the best of intentions are the ones we need to be the most wary of.
