LIFE WITHOUT PARENTS

LIFE WITHOUT PARENTS 

Life without parents is like a tree with broken roots.
Life without parents is like a flower without fragrance.
Life without parents is like a candle without a flame.
Life without parents is like a well without water.
Life without parents is like a medicine which has no effect on a sick person.
Life without parents is like a music without rhythm.

SAY NO TO OLD AGE HOMES AND YES TO FAMILY HOMES

Daily we read and hear so many heart rending cases children sending their parents to old age homes, children are ill treating or misbehaving with their parents.
Why is this happening?
Is this the fault of their parents?
Is this their fault that they have become older now, or their fault that they have wasted their entire life for their children by meeting their needs and expectations, giving them everything they have ever wanted, for sending them schools to helping them in being self dependent? Or the fault of parents that they love their children unconditionally?
And the result is that senior citizens are getting out of it. Instead of receiving the love of their children and grandchildren, they are getting humiliation, negligence and disrespect. This is seriously very disappointing.
 Did parents ever teach their children to forget their moral values, respect and love for them when they become old? No they have never taught us this. Parents can never expect this from their children. The feeling of being ignored by our loved ones kills from inside.
 People who do these things to their parents are building up their future also. Children learn from their parents and in future they will surely be facing the same circumstances as what they are doing to their parents. Because whatever you do comes back to you one day.
 Senior citizens have been the biggest victims of social advancement. They are neglected by town children as they are in their own pursuit of wealth and comfort as a result many of them are left to spend their last years in old age homes. Respect your parents and love your parents.
