Compromising Morals and Values

Yup, one more topic from me and then I'll be getting off for today.

Anyway, this is a topic that I'm currently struggling with at the moment. However, I've finally found a solution that will make me happy and put me at peace. Still, I wanted to make such a thread to hear others' thoughts about this topic.

So this is what I'm wondering. Let's say that you were promoted at a new job. However, taking this new job would mean that you were not allowed to be the person that you've always been. Like for example, before, you would always speak your mind and not be afraid to give your opinion because you believe that it matters. However, taking this job would mean that you'd have to not be allowed to speak your opinion, especially if it's disagreeable. So would you take that job if it meant that you were forced to change who you are? And of course, I'd like to know a why or why not.

I won't take that job! I hate being manipulated by another person. That's why I choose to became a doctor later in my life. I can choose weather I have to work in a hospital, or make a small clinic by myself, or maybe being a valuanteer in the war area (My mom sure won't alow this one).
Everyone has it own unic. You can't destroy it and make it your own robots. We're a human that have mind to think. That's why we have to shout our opinion. I love being myself, even all people think I'm weird.

Thanks, Fuu. I'm glad we have a very similar way of thinking.

You know, it was only recently that I realized that taking on the job/task that I did would have changed me into something that I'm not. I'm the kind of person who likes to speak my mind, regardless of whether it's going to upset a person. I think I give my opinions in a respectful manner and don't break rules. (Man, I can't stand when certain people say that you broke rules that don't exist. lol) Anyway, I realized that the job I took would have made me not be able to speak my mind and give my opinions. I would never wish for my voice to be stifled because I've seen too much where people were not allowed to express their freedoms and it's so important that we be allowed to say what we think but yet in a respectful manner. It seems like some people don't know how to do that.

Anyway, I'm glad that I'm not the only person who thinks that way. There should be more people out there in the world not afraid to express how they feel without being misinterpreted.

Here's my favorite quote. Well, I've placed it in the Quote for today threads, but seems it's a very good quote for you too!

That's a great quote, Fuu. Very meaningful and true.

Always be yourself, it meaningless when you are someone else.

@PG: Right! that's my favorite quote!!! and you don't have to read a thick book to find it. Just watch the anime, and now when everybody see this quote, WHO WANNA SAY THAT WATCHING ANIME IS CHILDISH???? well, this thing always making me creazy. Childish and hoby is a different thing right?

@Love: I'm agree with you!

Thanks, Love. I think that nowadays, it's difficult to always do the right thing. But as long as we stay true to ourselves and never waver, we'll always figure out what's right in the end.

@Fuu:

I still watch anime. I don't think it's childish at all. We can learn a lot from it.

@PG: that's right! My parent always said that I'm childish just because I like to watch anime and read manga.

@Fuu:

Well, probably your parents are from another generation, a different time. My parents are like that, too, my mom more so than my dad. They don't really understand why I like to watch anime but it really is entertaining to watch and it can fit a lot of age areas so I don't see anything wrong with it.

Well. I think nowdays anime and cartoon is fit for teen or young adult age,
There're only a little anime that fit to child age. YOu know there're a lot of violece secne in the anime nowdays. Such as bleach, naruto, the law of Ueki, and also Death note, there're to many killing secne there, that's why it's not fit to the child age.
Well, I said it like that, because parent thing child used to watch cartoon and animation, and they leave them be. But they don't know what's the effect of it to their child brain. A lot of child die because following the secne of the anime. THat's why I think anime now days is not for children anymore.

@Fuu:

O_o I didn't know that some people do bad things to themselves after watching certain anime. I guess that's like the idea that some teenagers commit violence after playing violent video games.

Yeah! My country goverment don't place the right genre in the anime. The place the anime in the time while all the kids will watch it. That's why the kid watch what the should not.And pretending like what they watch

Ahh I see. I agree that it is pretty strange. Like here, they put the more kid-friendly anime on at a reasonable time and then for the really violent ones, they come on late at night. Since I'm a night owl by nature, I might be able to catch them but even they shock me at times.

nice. I hope my goverment do something like that too.
