what kind of roles for our Parents...

Dear blog Reader,
After a long long time i am posting a very currently theme about our parents....i hope you all are read and understand what our parents deserved....  

• Today life has become more of a race. People, instead of enjoying it, want to win it. Their career and their activities have become so important for them that their loved ones are of lesser value to them. The husband runs for office at 8am and rushes back home at 8pm. In a race to make his career more promising, he doesn’t have time for his parents who have then grown old.

• Also, with the increasing expectation and needs of their children and wife, people find it difficult or rather find the expenses of their parents a burden upon them.

• It is our expectations from life that has increased. We have become so materialistic that our core values have remained of hardly any importance to us.

• We have become so much egoistic that we are not able to think of anything else than our own selves.

• Such children feel that they are able to take their own decisions and consider their elders’ thoughts and ideas as interference in their personal life.

Should parents buy them expensive toys, pretty clothes or should give them all the joy they can?

it was shocking to understand that those parents, who devoted their entire life in upbringing of their children, were being sent to old age homes and were left unattended and uncared by their own children who today give more importance to their own family life with their children and wife. I did not understand how someone can be so inconsiderate. How some children cannot show their gratitude to those who lived their life only for building their children’s life.

The show covered a story where a son, asked his parents to move out of the house. He believed that whatever his parents did for him was normal and it’s their duty which every parent does. Another story covered a lady who was left out of her own house after her husband expired. Her son did not allow her back in the house. She was knocking at the door for hours, but her son’s heart did not melt. Many more of such incidents were covered in the show. What is it that is changing the mentality of today’s generation?

But are these points really valid. Even our parents must have gone through these times, but they did not succumb to these situations and took everyone along and moved on. Then what is it that has changed today?

We all need to introspect for our own selves and try and analyze these points. We will understand that where this path will lead us at the end. Today, if we are treating our parents in such miserable ways, then we must remember that tomorrow even we have to grow old. No one on this land has had that nectar for staying young throughout their lives. Old age will come to us also and then we must be ready in case we have to face the same brunt from our children. This is true because our children will also learn from what we are doing. That day we will realize our mistake and probably it would have been too late.
