Our parents always wish what’s best for us. or do they?

Once upon a time there was a girl and there was a boy, like anyone else the cupid struck them and they fell in love. No wait; they were bonded with a mutual agreement. That’s what I say when the conditions such as “ I will only get married after my sister gets married first” or “ we get married only when both our folks agree to this”.
They seem to forget that they need the stamp paper from their parents; the eternal judges.
What is it about our parents and not agreeing with the marriage with the third kind? By third kind I just mean some one from other religion, cast or race. (Whatever that’s suppose to mean). Why do they forget that if we are old enough to marry a person of their choice and then we are old to make that decision ourselves? I do appreciate the west in this regard where people are allowed to choose their own soul mates. Of course it has its own consequences. But hey it’s better to sleep with the known dumb then the unknown devil. When our parents argue all you could here is “we are doing it for your good only”Of course they are.
Suddenly Borivali seem to me the hub for All India association of parents against Love marriage. Keep marriage sideways. May it be career, or further studies our folks always try to suggest us what career to choose or in which country we shall pursue our post graduate degree? Take an example of my first cousin, my uncle wants him to pursue his MS in hospitality in Australia. My uncle won’t even know what the capital of Australia is. Or what are the prospects of studying hospitality there. When u put an argument in front of them they will simply say “it’s the feeling from inside our heart so take up the path we have chosen for you? Or for that matter even the partner we have chosen for you?” There is no grey area when it comes to our parents wishing the best for us. It’s true that they have raised us with outmost care and hard work. They have tried to give us best of the education, living and social life. And if this is what they keep for an argument. Then let me ask what’s keeping them from being the butcher who feeds his goat with all the right food at right moment. Just to cut its throat at right time and get the maximum gain from it. I conclude by saying that yes it is official that “Our parents ALWAYS wish what’s best for us” but I can still argue “do our parents always KNOW what’s best for us”
And FYI. Capital of Australia is not Sydney or Melbourne.
