In April 2015 my 15 year old is going on a school trip for 3 weeks to France, Belgium and Spain. I'm trying to understand how I really feel about this with all the events in the world heating up.
Firstly and mostly, I want to stop her. Then something in me conflicts this idea and draws me out of my subjective thinking about 'my daughter' like she is more important of a person than 'your daughter' and I sink back and realise that it doesn't matter whose daughter it is, the point is should anyone be considering an overseas trip at this point in time?
A very staunch and attitudy 15 year old lives at my house, telling her she can't go would be a nightmare, explaining to her my concerns is met with 'we're all gonna die at some point' .
Me, personally, has no interest in exploring the world, flying to me is absolutely unnatural and I would rather look at pictures than spend 20 hours on a plane for the real deal- but that's me. My daughter is the type of person who thrives from experiences like this holiday opportunity. It will be great for her personal development. That is of course all planes make it to their destination and no staged terror attacks occur.
I don't want to sound detached here but I'm tight in the idea that we all have our own paths to follow and one must not interfere in the free will of others... So I'm leaning towards praying for the best outcome and letting destiny take it's course.
Any thoughts?
