Different is Beautifull

“In order to be irreplaceable, one must be different.”

            I would like to write about some similarities and differences between my Dady and my Mom. At first, I think every couple in this world must have lot of similarities to indicate their chemistry. I have changed that perception when I understood how my parents still get their chemistry although they have lot of differences. I realize it does not matter how different they are, they still love each other. It is true that not a million differences could make a couple hate each other, in fact they even love their dearest one more and more. Although my Dad and my Mom have some similar characteristics, they are totally different in educating their children.

            In the case of educating children, my Dad gives his children a freedom to choose whatever his children like, for example in choosing school, university, major, hobby, job, and even his children’s future spouse. I can freely choose what major I want to take as long as I can be responsible for what I have chose. My Dad gives me his trust, he expects that I will not break his trust and will not make him dissapointed later on. I do love his kindness and the way he educates his children.

            In contrast, my Mom is the one who will ask me to choose whatever good in her perception. Just like when I want to continue my study in Jakarta, she forbade me because she thought that I could not take care of my self and she afraid about my friendship overthere. She does not give me her trust unlike my Dad does to me. She will accept everything I take or choose only if she minds too. To be honest, I do not like her character especially like this one, but still, I love her so much.

            My Dad and Mom have their own way to educate their children. Eventhough my Mom does so to her children, but deep inside my heart, I know she does so only because she wants the best for her children. My Mom will give me a nagging speech if I do something wrong. In contrast, my Dad will told me wisely and calmly if I do a wrong thing. From this explanation, my Dad seems to be more gentle rather than my Mom.

            In conclusion, differences that we have to another will not lead us to cleavage or something bad, it will lead us to be more tolerance instead. Just like what my Dad and Mom do, they still love each other although their difference is very significant. It is proven by their marriage, they have been living together as my parents since 20 years ago. That is why my Dad and Mom are totally different in some cases but they still love each other untill the very end. Their differences show me how beautiful this life is and different is beautiful. As what the quotation above said, In order to be irreplaceable, one must be different that is why I knew that my Mom is irreplaceable in my Dad’s heart.
