Evolution of life

Time flies, things changes and sometimes life turns. This describes well what happens in this period of time of summer.

Cindy changed mind and postponed the wedding on Mid of July that caught all her loved ones off guard. Shock, anger and confusion stepped in first, and then after giving her concerns some fair consideration, I feel she has the right to make a decision for herself because everything about marriage is on hers to enjoy, suffer and burden. If she has concern about future potential conflict that her husband cannot handle well, it is all her right to put it off.

To me, all her loved ones and family are wonderful people, or honestly speaking elite level of people with great personality. Parents of both families have been eager for years to call each other "chin Chia" as great extended family. However, it is just a mystery of life that all good ingredients cannot necessarily make a good formula as desired. Simply put, there is a gap in our generations, and some people stick to the old one, some can float to mix with the new one. It is about value or concept, nothing about right or wrong, good or bad. All I can do to my daughter is respect her decision, and give her the support and blessing unconditionally. What I feel sorry for and care about most is my potential son-in-law. He is a good boy with love and with traditional sense of family obligation, but it is the two ingredients that is cooking him without knowing what to go for.

With this, I do not feel anything significant that would reduce my enjoyment of everyday life. What somebody said is quite true, imperfection makes a perfect life. You can't expect everything perfect in life anyway.

Evolution of life is not always positive and predicted. Sometimes it is a kick, or backward while time is always carrying you on like a escalator.
