How much we care for our Parents?

Recently, on television I saw a daughter was beating her father. I was shocked on watching this. It was a recorded scene and it looks that I was watching some movie. The details of the news were; the daughter (married) was having some doubt that her father aged 65 was having relationship with another woman. And this woman was her uncle’s wife (father’s Bhabhi). The daughter told that when she reached her father’s home, he was in an unusual situation with another woman. The daughter along with her mother beat that woman with sticks (jhadu). When her father tried to apart the woman from them, his daughter also beat him with the help of her husband and mother. According to the daughter, her father is having relationship with that woman. But the father said “that woman was taking care of him for the last few years and my daughter along with her husband are having doubt that I will give my land to that woman. That’s why they create that mess up and beat me.”

The thought came in mind was, where we are heading….? What is going on in our society? Whose statement is correct? Can at the age of 65 years, a man have that kind of relationship with his bhabhi? (May be yes, may be no). Or his daughter is lying and too wants to grab the land of her father? Whatever the reason is. One thing is sure, now a days LAND dispute is common in family violence. Till now we heard about son having crisis with his father but nowadays daughters are not even sparing their blood relations and attacking them for LAND or you can say for money. Money is what matters nowadays.

The question is to whom we are fighting with. To those who have given us birth, to those whose fingers we hold in the childhood, whom we loved so much in childhood, to those who brought us at this level or to those who always cares for us. We are hurting, fighting with those, who want us to get a good job in life, who wants us to get married in a good family, who wants us to see happy at every moment of life. They only thought about us. If they have given us so much, what we are giving to them; sorrow, grief, distress, unhappiness and pain, at every level. Whether they have ever expected such treatment from us. They never. But why we do that. Why we are fighting, making arguments with them now, why they are our enemy now. Is it only money, which keeps us apart?

Why don’t we remember those beautiful childhood days? If, for a moment, we remember those days, we might avert such incidents. But alas! We are not doing that. We should not forget, where we are now, is only due to them. Care for them, love them and give them happiness. This is the best we can do for our parents.

I never actually notice how much money actually takes control of us until i read this. We all go through life wanting more and doing what we can to get it and not thinking of the consequenses. Thank you for opening my eyes to this, it probably saved someone, and keep doing what your doing

I cared for my mother up until her death and I can't understand what has happen to our society. Elderly abuse is something we need to put an end to.
