I loved my parents, accepted them but then in between filed resentments and also criticized. Told them feeling whenever my demands were not met. This all happened when I was in college. Because we feel we are grown up and we have all the power of the world even to judge parents. We did not realize we all have some shades. We thought they shall be perfect and if they were not perfect we have the right to judge them and criticize them. We did not have experience enough to understand why they did what they did.
But they knew it all along. They accepted us with our follies. They loved us with all their heart. They gave us unconditionally. They knew our worst. They knew let’s say our shit and loved our shit too. When we messed they laughed. When we cried they cried too. They simply loved us. They made us realize how much God must love all his children. They introduced us to the divine. They made us who we are.
I am sure we do that for our children. But can we give that love and respect to our parents? Most of the times we do but we do not express enough. Can we express too? Sometimes I have realized kids have insecurities like what if they would get lost? What if parents have such insecurities too? Can we tell them that they fear not? Can we give them at least what they deserve?
Talk to them with respect
Take care of their needs
Do not judge the age, if they have desires accept them, welcome them.
Whether they have the money or not, take care of them.
If they need physical help too, give them that. Remember they raised you even when you did not know how to move.
Love your parents, they represent divine here.
