Yeah, we wouldn't have come to this earth to witness the incredible phenomena here in the forms of rivers, mountains, snow, slopes, rains, hails, vegetation and what not. Besides it, we wouldn't have experienced the joys or the sorrows as well, if our parents had not decided to confirm their love for each other by giving birth to us.On the very first day of our existence on the surface of the earth, our parents forgot everything and everyone until they were sure that we had shown all vital signs of being alive. As soon as the mother complained of complications, father rushed to fetch medical help. Though it was the mother who had to undergo the labour pains but the father was not less agonized unless the midwife came out and said, " congrats! U have been blessed with a son/daughter."Then started the bringing up phase----- the phase of feeding, bathing, cleaning, etc. Yes there are parents, affluent and solvent enough to hire the serivices of baby sitters but in the middle/low middle class family e.g. I was born into, everything is to be done by parents only. Even if they can afford a baby sitter, they can never trust anyone else than themselves with their infant. Minor coughing and sneezing would give our parents jitters and shocks. Without demur, they would consult pediatrician and get the prescribed medicines then n there.Well, then came the schooling question. Parents started moving from place to place to ensure that they admitted their child to the best available school irrespective of fee structure. Every prerequisite(uniform,books, pencils,etc.) to school was purchased by being oblivious of expenses and there was bought even a camera also to record the first day of the ward in the school. Having left the child in the school under the care of the school teacher, there was apprehension all the time in the mind of parents if the teacher would be considerate n affectionate to their ward's childish tantrums or the unintentional mischief. When the school was over, all parents of newly admitted children were at the school gate well in advance to pick up their wards.The child completed education, got a job and became eligible for marriage. Having screened all possible matches, parents reached an agreement where the potential spouse was going to be a happiness bonanza from all perspectives(things may have turned out different later though). The child has grown so much that he himself has become parent now but the concern of the parents for him is same in the heart of his parents. They still think that he isn't insulated to the risks and dangers of the world which is replete with cheaters and evil doers.I am just not able to understand one thing---- it is the love of the parents in the world which is selfless love but as soon as we become parents, we find love-deficit in our heart for our parents and get tilted or focused towards our children. We may try to pretend to be grateful n loyal sons/daughters but we get exposed time and again.Why is it so?
Hello! It's very philosophic post. We are getting wise too late.It takes a lot of time to feel the connecting between the parents and the children. Well... The best part of living is loving and giving. Thanks.
