One cannot please everybody however if one cannot please his own loved ones and family because of differences probably in religion and lifestyle, what one should do? For example, if a loved one a mother or a sibling dislike his own son or own brother because he has a different religion and different character, what must the son do? Do the son need to separate and live on his own? What do you think of this mylotters?

While I find it sad to hear that a family member would reject another family member because they have different held values and other traits, I would think the person being judged should move out and find somewhere else where he/she is treated with more respect. I do not think it's right for someone to live in the same roof with another person who makes them feel inferior. That is not right. If you are family, you should love another family member unconditionally and should not let such trivial matters like their religion and character interfere. If not, that is just sad.

It is really kind of sad with that kind of situation. Thanks for your suggestion and response. Truly, a person will be affected with that kind of enviroment. I think one should really find his place wherein he could be treated with more respect. That would be better for him. Have a nice day!

It is meaningless to love one own son just because of his religion belief, a parent shouldn't stop loving their own son and should respect the right of the son to have the freedom to choose whatever religion he want to follow, as long as it is a peaceful faith that does not encourage killing of innocent people and children. I think every parent should keep an open mind on this, after all, it is difficult for every parent to despise their own blood and flesh no matter how much disagreement existed between them, their parental love should overcome all these trivial matters.

I agree. Parents should be open minded about this as long as the faith does not involve killing of innocent people. Still, if I were the parent, I will still love my son and respect his beliefs. Thanks for this. Have a nice day!

This is what my dad already told me.One living in this world is not easy and we can't make different kinds of friends.So make your own life easier and happier,we can't choose every single way to consider other's attitude,so just be you own and you will get more pleasure.

That is a good advice. Being yourself is also being true to yourself and to other people. Freedom is also achieved as well as peace of mind. Thanks for this. Have a nice day!

Some people are willing to change themselves to be liked. They may succeed and they may fail. To me, it's pointless to change myself just to please others. My family disagrees with me on many things, it upsets me but it didn't change my views and my opinions. Pleasing my parents is no longer my priority. When we were children we have always wanted approval, even more, we want it when we have all grown up. I have come to realize that the only person whose acceptance matters to me most is myself. If I can't accept myself, who will? Being a people-pleaser is so not cool. We have to be strong about your beliefs, our convictions! The son will do what is right. If he chooses to change his beliefs just to please someone I think it's a bad idea. That's just wrong and it's not worth it if you ask me. It's like lying to myself.

One should really be strong in his beliefs and convictions. This would make him happy, true to himself, and at peace as well. Thanks for this. Have a nice day!

I don't know why you are saying like this.Blood relation never sees religions ,lifestyle,character etc.But how can there be difference in religion,lifestyle etc in the same family.In my opinion if you are adopting a different lifestyle or religion still there should not any decrement in love,affection which earlier they used to have.
