What is up with people trying to talk me out of becoming a Sikh? It's starting to bother me. They make me feel like it's some kind of flaky, nutty thing to do. It's not like I'm a child -- why are people not happy for me?
It makes me wonder if these people really care about ME or if they just care about their own ideas.
It would be nice to have more support in my decision, but it's not going to change my decision. It is just sad that people would try to discourage someone from making a commitment to a faith that so obviously is right for them in their own heart.
I would love to be around people who would smile and be happy when I put on the chunni and would embrace me at my baptism.
It's hard being in a small community where there are no Sikhs. Which communities in the US have the most Sikhs?
I did see a picture of a Sikh man at my new job and have contacted him so maybe that will be at least one real live person I can talk to. Hopefully he has some family around here.
I don't understand people who want to discourage others from choosing the path they love.
