Realize the value of relationship


The world is moving from modernism to post modernism.The change is not only in the lifestyle of the masses but also in relationships. How many of the present generation know the real meaning of the word relationship? The question needs a thorough study....

If the present world knew the real value and importance of family, the number of old age homes in the country didn't have increase this much. If one knew the real meaning of what the word 'mother' and 'father' means, they couldn't be able to sleep nice every night after dumping their parents to the old age homes. The number of old age homes in our country is increasing day by day. Have you ever thought what is the reason behind it? Its we-- the so called modern society is responsible for that.

Parents gave their children good education, fulfilled their needs dreaming and expecting a lot about them... and yea the child with his/her hard work and blessing of parents reached heights... When he gets a family of his own, parents become a burden. This is not from a story but from the real life. This is what happening in our surrounding.

Some says parents themselves choose the retirement homes as it would be more easy for them to get medical help and care. They can spend time with the same aged group which would make them feel more comfortable especially when the children working abroad or faraway places leaving no choice for the old people .More over to hire a servant for their help is senseless until and unless if they know all the details of the servants.

But for many, they don't have time for their parents. The new trend of nuclear families are giving importance to their privacy, making the parents
isolated.

Now where is the traditional values of India gone? Where is its refined culture? Culture taught us - 'matha(mother), pitha(father)guru(teacher) daivam(God)' .The path to reach God is through your parents and teacher. Respect the living gods, get their blessings.. It will take you to God.

You must understand that today what you are...is all because of your parents. they are the ones who corrected your each and every step of life. And remember- - one day vicious hands of aging will catch you also.
