Family

My parents want me to marry and have children, but I don't want either — should I sacrifice my own path to honor their sacrifices for me?

Sacrificing your life trajectory to ease parental sadness creates mutual harm; honesty about your values and boundaries is the harder dharmic path.

Family peace bought with selective silence still has a receipt—someone reads it later.
