One gentleman shared his pain. He has two sons and they have come to an arrangement. He would stay with each one of them on monthly basis.
One lady, shared her pain. She cannot enter into her only son’s home.
One lady shared that her son is living separately and whenever he visits he is scared that his wife shall not find out.
One lady was living with her son and cried silently. She always felt that if she was financially independent, she would not have to bear her daughter in law’s behavior. Who was always taunting at her.
One lady, walked out of her house at the age of 68 because her daughter in law started abusing her physically.
We must have heard of similar stories and I feel like crying when I see that. Is it about the work or responsibility or we do not know how to live peacefully with love.
Today I am sitting here and wondering, there are so many books on how to raise your children positively, how to behave with them, what to do and what not to do. 1000s of books on children but any book on how to be with parents? Don’t we need that? Won’t our children learn from how we behave with our parents? How can we raise a good next generation if we leave the previous generation behind? They are not the past, they are still here and they are a part of our present which is shaping up our future.
They are real human beings and have real emotions. They need to be treated with love and respect and believe me it’s a blessing and our own need too. How can we be peaceful if we do not treat our own parents right? I am not even talking about karmic debt. All the mythological books are full of this concept, that abundance will not come if you do not have your parent’s blessings. Astrologers say that if you want any business to be successful, take your mother’s blessings first.
Give them love as much as you would give to your own children because this is what they have given you when you were small.
It’s their right!
