Religion
Scenario #2:
There was once an Asian and Buddhist mother that raised her daughter with morales and preached the idealism of doing good deeds to reap good karma within their lifetime or for future generations.
With her broken English, she had a deep conversation with her Asian American daughter.
Mother: “Daughter, go to temple with me every month to pray to Buddha and all your prayers will be answered.”
Daughter: “I pray for a rich and handsome boyfriend, who will love me and buy me all the things I like!”
Mother: “No, no, why are you, so greedy? Be a good girl and Buddha will give you blessings!”
Moral lesson: Praying gives hope and continuous faith in a religion. Sometimes in a typical traditional family, it sets the foundation for a well-balanced life.
