Please read the message herein below and think of it carefully:
Each of us want to live our life and most of us consider that our old parents the cause of our mere existence in this world are just burden and nothing else! They made us what we are today and we are the one who are responsible for their future.
Parents have never thought back to give us the smallest pleasure in the world , though that was not very easy for them but just to see that smile on our face they would to anything . They took our hand in the childhood because we were learning to walk, they taught us how to overcome the obstacles and go forward, but what do we do now when they have not remained so strong to walk on their legs...Do we give them our hand? Or give them a stick and say walk your way????
We should not forget that getting old is a process of life. It’s a circle which will come to us also, today our parents are old tomorrow we are going to be old. What we do to our parents may come back to us from our own children.
The joint family system is almost fading away, and with the nuclear family concept coming in where the husband and wife both are behind earning money and in return neglecting their parents and in laws respectively. And if the parents are staying together then they are treated no better than the servants to take care of their children.
The concept of Family is as old as the civilization itself. it was considered indispensable for the health and happiness of civilized society. No relationship can be as intimate and Fulfilling as in a family. As in the words of a social activist, 'family acted as a complete security check to the family and to the grand-children whose parents were working". The old parents have been marginalized. All thanks to our telephone culture, which people feel can keep them closer to their parents even if they are not living together" A household consisting of husband, wife and children each bound by natural piety, used to be a little heaven even in the midst of troubled times. in such an atmosphere, the joys are doubled and sorrows and shocks get halved, by the love and sympathy of family members. In case of illness or disaster, the family proves a sheet anchor of comfort and heart-upliftment.
