Cap. 3 Haz lo que quieras
It is true that when we are young our life is, in a way, controlled by our parents. But we should not expect them to rule our life for ever because whether we like it or not, we grow old and we must learn about making our own decisions.
Although what our parents have taught us will sometimes be useful, some other times it will not. It is our life so our decisions will depend on our history, experience, likes, personality, wishes and the circumstances we are going through. When adults, youngsters will have freedom to choose what is convenient or not for them according to that.
By the way, I associate that freedom with responsibility because they will no longer depend on their parents and as a consequence they'll be responsible for their decisions. That is why they should think carefully before making them, thinking twice and even more in some cases like Savater recommends.
I think that using their intelligence and reasoning so as not to be influenced by others, listening to their heart and having a clear conscience will help them to be as right as possible in their decisions.

How interesting, Lil! In your previous entry, you were all for duty as the source of morality... Now you advocate "listening to our hearts"... Can you see your shift?
I also meant to ask you: do all adults learn to make their own choices? Or perhaps, in some societies, they just "change parents", so to put it?
One last thing: I love your association between freedom and responsibility... 2 sides of the same coin... If only our youngsters learned it soon!
Hi Gladys,
When you make a decision you should consider everything,I mean your duty, your feelings, your experience, other's experience,what you think,etc.
To me,sometimes adults don't but they can, I mean they have all their life to learn.
As far as youngsters are concerned, it would be great they did, lets have hope!
Love,
Lili
