Are we losing respect for our elders? Think Over it

 

In our efforts to strive towards a better age of technology and a better tomorrow, we are losing some of our basic principles of foundation, including respect for elders.The first major victim of this are our  parent: person who give us the gift of life.

In today's fast moving world, we seem to have lost respect for our elders in pursuit of chasing our dreams. When a child grows up, instead of taking up the responsibility, he often backs out. As a result, his parents end up in some old age homes.

This small child when becomes an adult easily forgets how his parents have helped him to walk his first step, how they had spent sleepless nights for making him sleep, how his mother used to cook delicious food for him, how his father used to drive him to school by bicycle ? Now he is a smart young man , who doesn’t wants his parents to come infront of his friends because he would feel embarrassed. I really feel very sad for those Parents who have kids like these .

In this blog ,I just want to convey my feelings. What I feel regarding our parents and if I could ..may be change some of the people who doesn't  understand or had forgotten the pain and struggle which their parents had undergone to bring them into this world.

 

Surely the care and the love they bestow on us can never be compensated even if we serve them throughout our lives. But unfortunately many of us doesn’t realize it. Today , we all are busy in our life with our busy schedule. We all wanna  make our careers, our life but what about our parents , aren’t they part of our lives ?

 Here  I would like to  share my own experience. I am an  IT professional from a small town in Madhya Pradesh. So I had to stay far away from my Parents  in  Pune . Many a  times a feeling of homesickness arises . Many of you  would laugh at it but the fact is most of us  had such  kind of feelings continuously rounding around us and many a times I feel like quitting my job and  coming back to my hometown ….to my parents. when I was with my parents in my hometown till my college days I used to take them for granted,used to argue with them for satisfying for no good reasons, never understood their feelings …But Now when I am here I  can easily understand there importance  in my Life.

They don’t  want  anything from us . But if we could just give them all the love and respect they deserve then it is worth then billions. In fact our Parents are the only persons in this world who could give anything or everything  for their chidren but will not ask for a return.

 

“Mathro devoo bhava, pithro devo bhava", which translates as Mother and Father are next to God. When the true meaning of these words are lost, is there any use of praying to God for peace?

 

Hey Guys we should realize that we are not only in this world for building our careers, for going to States and fulfilling our dreams.Though I am not against it but what I am trying to say is that never contempt your Parents. Always treat them the same way and give them the same care  as they had treated you and given you , when you where a 1 year old child ,because in their age they just need your love and affection. Give them as much love as you can. No need of going to a temple or church if you are disrespecting your Parents ,for Parents are divine gift of God and are indeed a bliss from God Almighty to all of us.

 

Guys the feelings are more but the words are few ,so just wanted to throw some light on this unnoticed issue. If you have really realised something and feel something then please let me know about your thoughts and feel free to share your feelings with me.

Hoping I would be able to change someone with my thoughts…………..
