Guitar Daku,
At this point I think it is mostly #3.
I really like what you are saying. You are saying that somehow I need to sell my idea of going to Nepal in such a way as to communicate that it would serve my parents interest. That it would help them in some way.
See this is what I am having a hard time with. My father's only interest is in earning money and building prestige with his financial wealth. Since I am not going to Nepal to earn money, his prestige does not become bigger by me going to Nepal. His prestige is increased in being able to show off that his son is in some big firm earning mucho dollars in the United States.
As far as my mother goes, the only thing she lives for is to put her enemies in family politics down. She is a bitter and negative woman whose whole pitiful life is consumed in putting her perceived enemies in family politics down. I feel sorry for her. But she has just become increasingly bitter and she is far from reasoning. She sees herself as a victim of family politics and uses every hook and trick in the book to turn the political game in her favor and has failed time after time. This has made her increasingly miserable and bitter.
Her political stance is to tell us, her children, that we are too naive to understand the game that our relatives are playing on us. Anyway, she is so lost in her ever consuming animosity, she doesn't see day from night.
So in making my case to both my parents, I have no idea how to show that serving Nepal and doing what is in Nepal's greater good would help their interest and purpose for living. If you have any advice, I would appreciate it.
