Abandoning old parents

Today when i enter this new world it almost gives me a feeling that I am born again.The way a small child needs support and care at every step,the same way as a person gets old even he/she needs support.Although they have lived their life,there is something that they miss this something is not what most of us want,a car,a house,money but it is their loved ones by their side. As and when people start to get older,their loved ones start treating them as old furniture or a door mat.I once went to this org,where i met Mrs. Rajni,a seventy-year old who can barely get up without support,but every few minutes,her frail body makes a feeble attempt to sit up so that she can look at the main door.She is waiting for her son Sumit.

Mrs.Rajni was dumped in the org. by her son saying that he would take her back in a month as he was going on a business trip to US.
1 month became 1 year and nw its almost 2 yrs and she has not even received his call once.She still does not have anything against her son,and says she would go nack with him soon.

Is this for what we are born in this world to dump those who give us a life in some org.Are we so weak that v cnt evn take care of our parents,do we 4 get ol d tyms when they have stayed awake ol nyt to get us a gud sleep,when they have first offered us food n then had later.

Such a behavior with the parents is ridiculous and such children should be hanged.

Somwhere down the line parents are also at fault who expect that children will take care of them in future. They should have enough money saved for their old age so that they do not have to depend on anyone.

Nuclear families are becoming more prevalent and people consider parents as unwanted in their families, maybe because they at times try to guide children in everything which they consider as interference.

You are right somewhere that generation gap is an issue but still on the humanity grounds parents deserves some attention from their children. As far as parents' behavior is concerned, it becomes too late to teach them at that age.

Blame nature for evolving humans with emotion
Nature recycles everything and as we get older we are recycled and make room for the new gens that nature tries to make shuttle changes to on her quest for the perfect gens
The limited consciousness is left in the conscious pool that is the collective knowledge of all and no one conscious human is important to nature
New generations because of their chemical makeup have an overpowering feeling to be the more powerful gens and will walk over subconsciously anyone or thing in their way, until their hormonal drives lessen and then realize the trick nature played on them

Let me tell you an Urdu couplet..it goes like this...
Jinko sooraj mila karta tha meri chaukhat say;
Ab wo khairaat main dete hain ujale mujhko.
Meaning...the ones who got enough sun(shine) from my home, now they give me some a little of the shine as if to a beggar.
Alas we could take care of our ageing parents who not only brought us to this world but alos took good care of us.Nice post.

sir
shakeasphere said Old age is one of the worst chapters of humankind. The very same child which was brought uo by parents will turn as useless human form. The people who neglect their parents should be hanged
