What my momma don't know is...
Love don't care who you be where you dey from love don't care....
These lines from Simi's Love don't care sent me into deep thoughts.
Most times many young people have missed marrying someone their heart really wanted just because their parents feel that there is something wrong with people from that part of the world. I don't know about you but I come from a society where your parents expects you to marry within the same tribe because they have certain reservations about people from other tribes and to me, it's totally crazy.
At times I wonder if these people really know how love works, the truth remains that at times the heart does not care about these things. Most times while falling in love with someone, you are more interested in who the person is that where the person is from so how then would someone force his/her heart to fall out of love with someone just because they are from a particular tribe.
I once heard a girl saying that her mum asked her to make sure she gets married to a doctor so that you won't have to spend too much on medical bills and this got me wondering,this marriage of a thing shouldn't be for the benefit of the partners? why then do parents try to influence their children's marriage decision because of their personal beliefs.
I know that parents really wants the best for their children and wouldn't want to intentionally do anything that would hurt then but at times they need to understand that in as much as these two families are uniting the people who would be impacted most are the couple and before the compatibility of the tribes or family or jobs would be considered, the compatibility of the couple should be the top priority.
Some people might want to argue it but at times, the heart acts on its own Accord and as of that moment all it is looking for is where it finds comfort and not where the person is from or what job the person does and that is why you'd see people in two different social class or even different continents coming together, loving and living happily because what interest the heart is happiness and comfortable and every other thing is secondary.
The painful part of this is when they treat it as if the person's opinion doesn't matter. Need I remind you that the person that would be staying in this marriage is this particular person whom some parents assume that in this case their opinion doesn't matter because they are still too young to understand. Well, it's a great things such incidents are really reducing but I must say that truly love don't care
