Should we or shouldn't we???

I feel like breaking out of the shackles of the society. A society which thinks only about the rules, like Laws, and not about humanity...emotions...feelings. The situation becomes much dismal when everyone around you follows these rules like Bible. They think it's absolutely right to go by these rules and these rules are the only way of life. I don't know if they fear change, they fear society or they fear failure! Probably, it's the last one. Any change, and new path brings a lot of challenges with it and you need to have a lot of substance, lots of guts, to believe in yourself, believe in your path and go ahead with it, all alone. Sometimes, even when everyone else is against you.
It doesn't make much difference when the people against you are part of the mob. It becomes a litmus test only when the people standing opposite to you are your loved-ones. Part of the family that has been with you all your life...as you have known.
Is it right to forego your family members for something that you just think is going to be right for you? Let me make it more clear. Let's take an example. You want to quit the job you are in. It's the job which is well paying, it belongs to the line that you have pursued in your graduation, and you are almost settled. Still, you want to quit it. Since you want to quit it, that implies that you are really terrible there and your heart is completely caged working there. You tell your parents about it. After all, they are your parents, they are your near ones. Who else will understand you if not them!? You want to go for another profession, something that may need you to lose the hefty pay packet that you have right now. You will be less paid, but you really feel that you will be much happier. What do you think will be the response of your parents?
I know, for 99% of you, especially the ones belonging to NCR, the answer will be a complete NO! Their reasons will be: "Oh Dear, jobs are mostly frustrating. What's the possibility that the next job you chose will be satisfying and you will be happy? After some years, you will have to get married. How will you support your family? Of course, the pay packet will play a major role then."
I know many of us are those who would not even think of discussing this foolish thought with anyone, and would get all these reasons right in their minds, and drop the idea there and then.
But, is it right? Is it the way it should be? We know that this profession is going to be with us forever in our life. It's been just 2-3 years in this line and we are already frustrated. Still, we don't stand up and say that I won't do it. We don't because somewhere even we have a fear....fear of a debacle. The fear of losing on this untouched path is so hard that we don't dare to even try. We fail to realise that failing and getting up to move on is what Life is! We don't understand that it's like repeating the same experiment as per the guidelines, every time, every day..the whole life.... Still, we don't think it's worth the effort.
And those who actually dare to think beyond the rule book, those who dare to dream....I want to ask one question. How do you differentiate that whether you are standing up for your dream, following the Lord Krishna's path, as told to Arjuna in Gita or you are being adamant, and living in a world of fantasy. Whether you are following your heart, or you are still unaware of the problems and the practicalities life poses and that's why you can think of thinking all this! How will you decide whether the path you have chosen is worth hurting your parents or is it about being dumb and thinking of yourself as Mature.... How'll you differentiate whether your duty towards your parents is more important or your genial right to live as per your wish is more important?
The discussion remains open.
