CARING AT OLD AGE
Heading sounds really weird that why I chose this topic to discuss about. Well one day we all have to become old and definitely we all need the caring.
Initially when system was there in all Indian houses, people use to live in a joint family and the fabric of relation was so strong that they nurture their big garden of lives with love and affection.
But now tendency is changing in common household in India, now people are adapting a nuclear family lifestyle. I am not oppose of this system of living but at the same time we have not to forget our elders, parents who once took our fingers and taught us how to walk.
I remember one saying where it is said that if you want to live happily then try to live as much as in the company of children below 6 yrs and elders above 60 yrs.
Why we are becoming plastic and forgetting our values and culture. Why our young generation is on the run...why they are aping west and trying to experiment everything...I am not against the positive experiments but not the negative ones at the cost of our values and culture. For an example I have seen in Pune which is called education hub of India, young students who are just a free birds stay together(girls and boys) as a living relationship. Does our society has become that much mature to accept this??? On the other hand gay culture is getting lot of mileage..thanks to the media channels who are not keeping any stone unturned in giving wind to this cause.
I am not diverting from the main issue~ now analyse and let me know if things will go in this way then who will have time to take care of our old elders and parents...are their destination is old age home?????
I do understand it is the demand of time and job requirement that it is not possible even after thinking of remaining in a joint family one has to scatter to different places but still scope is there to take care of one's parent and elders.
Please let me know your comments.
Have a wonderful night......:)

Change is inevitable.
ReplyDeleteAgree... it is inevitable but at what cost?????
ReplyDeleteChange is the transformation of one to another. When another is formed, the one is lost. Every change is accompanied by a loss. Life is merely about balances. Sometimes, even when there is an intent to carry things along that we love, the situations force the individual to choose. The choice, though not completely satisfying, is usually the one that the individual can perfectly balance. The choice ofcourse depends on the moral make-up of the individual.
