to bow to convention, or religious dogma , or the expectations of society / family?

Just watched 'Eastenders' ( well a bit of it ) where Saed (sp) marries Amira despite being gay and in love with Christian....

Is the world 'well lost for love'...whoever objects and whatever kind of love that is?

I was thinking as I watched about a friend at college, not sure of their sexuality , but trying to fit into what was expected by family... in terms of religion and what they considered 'the norm'... I wonder how things went eventually.... whether they followed their own path or did what was expected...some people can live the lie .

I think all you can do in life is live by your lights as well as you can. We all have to make decisions in life at times and I suppose a lot of the time we don't know if we've done the right things til we get to the end and look back:)
