Life Goals and Marriage
I am like thousands other people in the world very seldom think about my life aim in general. I carry around baggage of believes of my parents, culture and traditions. The more I distance myself from them in space and communication, the more my believes are confronted by the surrounding reality. My ancestors were trying to be able to support their and their families living, practicing some skill or profession. I think most of them saw their life meaning simply in continuing reproducing of new generations. In east European countries and especially for women there cannot be anything more important then giving birth to a child or children. Stable tradition was supported by both government and church. Women’s life goal should be children and family! But after a while due to the western feminists streams women in east Europe slowly start to realize that they can get more from life then the role of wife or/and mother. The pressure of society there is still enormous; verdict of any court could be crueler than one of the people’s gossip. They force on young women the priority of marriage and children. How these girls could think of self-realization in any other sphere of life is they don’t have any role models? Their mothers and grandmothers that didn’t contribute much in outer world are their models and the biggest authority. I hope that in nearest future more brave and intelligent women would wish to achieve something in their lives as the first priority before becoming an example of average underachiever for their daughters.
