Who has influenced your sah/woh
| Thu, 02-09-2006 - 2:39pm |
opinion to DIFFER. What I mean is--is there anyone on this board or in real life whose opinion/reasoning/debating/facts started to make your thinking more to the middle? As in if you thought sah or woh was best & then after some discussion/thought, you began to think that whatever is best for each family--really there is no one best way, etc.
We just really needed a new thread here!!!!!!!!

"A moral philosophy or set of beliefs, a basic moral outlook, is by definition deeply felt as a part of who we are. Our children are also very dear to us and part of who we are. Our personal views on life and the nature of the universe are an important part of what we offer to our kids. That has been the basis of cultural transmission through the ages. You follow so far, right?:
Yes, and I wholeheartedly agree.
"So, we'd be doing ourselves and our children a disservice to withhold from them such an important part of ourselves, both in terms of the fullness of our relationships and also in terms of the duty we owe them to help them make some sense of the world."
Yes, again I wholeheartedly agree.
However, there seems to be some confusion wrt to the difference between *sharing* and *discussing* those important parts of ourselves with others vs. *imposing* those important parts of ourselves on others.
Do you see the difference between *sharing* and *discussing* our belief systems with others vs. *imposing* our belief system on others? Or do you think sharing, discussing, and imposing are basically all the same?

"I think parents have the ability to be much more objective than the teen in question"
How so?
For example:
Parent: My subjective/personal opinions = objective fact/truth/reality.
Teen: My subjective/personal opinions = objective fact/truth/reality.
Seems as if parents and teens alike are relying on the same "my way or the highway" mentality.
Would you agree or disagree?
"Facts have to be supported...proven...by, you know, objective analysis and data."
Yes, I agree objective facts DO have to be supported by objective analysis and data.
"Otherwise, it's only objective opinion."
Perhaps you meant to say, "Otherwise it's only *subjective* opinion?
"Facts have to be supported...proven...by, you know, objective analysis and data."
Your statements seem a bit contradictory. Could you please clarify?
From post 2475:
You: "I don't think any of my opinions are objective fact.
Me: Not *ANY*? There you go again.
Btw, if this is the case, would you please mind explaining the following statement?
From post 2401:
You: Yes, I believe biblical teachings as the "one and only one right, objective, correct, morally superior way."

She knows that it is important to wait until marriage VS.
She knows that IMHO, it is important to wait until marriage?>>
"Yes, I do see the difference."
Thank you for the acknowledgement.
"Ultimately, the decision rest with her, and I respect that it is her choice, not mine or her fathers to make. "
Sounds like a reasonable as well as respectful stance.
