I was very doubtful about my decision to study, especially to study Psychology as a minor. I remember briefly during my first Psychology lecture, the lecturer explained that Psychology is the study of brain and behavior. At that moment, I felt a sense of discomfort cos this seems to oppose the principles of Christ.
I wanted to ask for opinion but didnt till 2 weeks ago, I seek advise from my dear mentor. We had an in-depth discussion and shared our thoughts openly. Ironically, this had the same answer to a question I queried my friend months back.
My lawyer friend, knowing that God do not like divorce, avoided family law in Law school. Yet now, her job requires her to handle divorce cases. From her reply, I can feel the struggles she undergoes, which is definitely not smooth-sailing path for her to come this far.
Most earthly events opposed Christ's teaching and only thru continuous seeking of a Godly-attitude, face and deal these events by applying Christ's teaching, then we can experience breakthru in our life. This requires lots of wisdom, discipline and self-control.
I was actually prepared to drop Psychology if the outcome of the discussion was negative. However, I believe avoidance is not of God. Instead, we're all called to face all earthly-events bravely and gain victory over them.
