NayaJivan,
Yes, that is what I am saying. Sell your idea to them so that it seems like it would benefit them. (Funnily enough, it really does benefit them. they are just too blind to see it. Why does it benefit them? For the obvious reasons. )
Selling something to someone requires some steps. Btw, I am not a psychiatrist nor a salesman. I am an engineer by trade and a great literature fan. On the side, I am a writer. All advice here is my opinion only and should be used according to the circumstances. Life is a series of precise strokes. You can't take a 1 foot brush and just paint the walls like a painter would. To be an artist, using delicate precise strokes on the canvas is mandatory.
First of all, understanding the human psyche is important. So your father loves accumulating wealth. And as you have indicated, it looks like he has done so with some "ghush" etc. I will ignore the moral implications here. We all know what is right, what is wrong. But what does this mean then. That should be the question you need to ask. especially related to selling something to him?
Everything your father has been doing to accumulate wealth looks like it hurts Nepal in some way. What if the situation is so screwed up that your father thinks, hurting Nepal means a gain for me.
It looks quite likely in your father's linear brain, he probably thinks "If I hurt Nepal in some way, it means I gain something". HIs actions and words indicate this (according to your posts). So to sell something to him, if you mention "helping Nepal", venture to guess what kind of things run in his head (perhaps unknowingly). Yes. The thoughts will precisely be "If my son helps nepal, I probably am losing something". It oobviously is not true and quite moronic. But most ppl have very linear thought patterns. (I have observed this in my study of the human psyche in my daily encounters).
By you mentioning helping Nepal and nepali people, you are very much likely hurting your cause. I'd say, no need to mention that you want to help Nepal and Nepali people at all. You will be doing those things but mentioning this to convinve your parents most likely will backfire.
Let me know what you think about this. and we can proceed.
I don't know what you would say at this point. But knowing what not to say is half the work.
