“Old age, believe me, is a
good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage,
but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.” —Confucius
When children undermine the
father in front of their mother constantly, there will be a rift between mother
and father. When children undermine the mother in front of their father, there
will be a rift between mother and father. Such constant acts create a gap
between parents in the long run. In some cases, they pave the way for parents
to go for divorce. Therefore, it is the responsibility of children not to
create any rift between parents. They must empathize with their parents and
underscore the sacrifices made by the father in front mother and that of the
mother in front of the father. In Indian society, parents expect their children
to take care of them in their old age since there are no social security
measures for parents in old age. In the current scenario, there is no such
scope for children to take care of old parents as they migrate to other places
for their survival and success. It is a great challenge in the present society,
especially in Indian society. It needs to be addressed earnestly to ensure the
safety, security, and dignity of aged parents.
Children realize the
challenges of parents when they reach their old age. By the time it is too late
as parents are no more in this world.
“I think we all have empathy.
We may not have enough courage to display it.” —Maya Angelou
