Most parents just wanted to live their lives through their children’s lives so who cares really anyway? All parents can self care live their own best good lives. That’s when they become strong enough with any of children’s personal problem issue to work together family loving strength.

I thought TED was supposed to be Technology, Engineering, and Design. What’s with all the political and social commentary?

These days after some parents have been for a long time isolated from their infant children while their successful adult children are finally getting to know them better at first attempts to disappoint parents while offering them their opinions that might only seem both gratifying and entertaining to them about the mystery as to how their children ended up having the same opinions.

My takeaway is that’s it’s wonderful to be open and honest with your parents. I really think that’s a good thing and that’s something I’m constantly learning to aim for as a 20-something year old who grew up afraid to speak to her parents. This is an encouraging talk, just like many other TedTalks.

It’s called rising above your natural instinct to be selfish and to elevate yourself above others. Not honoring your parents is one reason why this culture is lost.

I don’t know, I think it is imperative you leave home and find yourself. Dad wanted me to be a doctor and marry the girl he liked, career, home, car, etc. And I was a good son and did what I was told. But that wasn’t me. That was my dad living his life through me. I didn’t know who I was. One day, I told him I was going abroad for college and he threw a fit. I had to leave to discover the real me, and what a fantastic decision. At 92yo, he says I betrayed him, abandoned, didn’t marry so and so, etc. He is mean as ever and I live on the other side of the globe. Not the way I would like it to be, but I have to be true to myself.

Remember one thing: you don’t owe your parents a damn thing.
It was the choice of your parents to give birth to you. It wasn’t your choice to be born.
Only choices have consequences.

Points taken. Yes, one ought to follow one’s own path and live one’s own truth. Yet, the speaker’s descriptions of the Iranian society and the Iranian diaspora were overtly generalising, even if there were some truths to the observations of their beliefs and behaviours. Iranian society of HER generation is far from the society her parents left when they left Iran… She wouldn’t travel to Iran perhaps, but if she did, she’d certainly be surprised to witness the difference firsthand.
