Strange as it may seem, but this time I saw many posts in Facebook and Twitter, praising motherhood and everyone ranting and raving about how good mothers are and how they are angelic etc. It is true 100% that mothers are good and angelic, but this time, there's a sudden surge of emotions on the social media channels. Everyone wanted to share something about mothers. Some of them pasted pictures and some of them poems, some even went to the extent of pasting their childhood pictures with their mother. It is all good, in a sense that it gives joy and immense pleasure to think about life's journeys and also think about how sacrificial mothers are.
In fact, my mother never thought about herself and she sacrificed a lot for the children. But somehow, I felt that it was overdone this time on the social media channels. Questions I would like to ask: 'How do you take care of your parents? Do you really love them and cherish them? Do you spend time with them? Do you know what they need and what they want? Are we really concerned about them or are we just thinking them as burden?"
Let me not get into preachy mode, but I want to tell everyone that we need to take care of our parents every day of our lives. When we were young, when we did not know anything about this world, it is they that brought us up. Now we shouldn't neglect them. I see a new trend coming up in metro cities and in two town tier cities - many old age homes are coming up and every old age home is full.
From where did all these old people come from. These are all parents - abandoned by the same people who have commented / updated on Facebook, Twitter and all the other channels about the love and emotions of parents.
My two cents - Honor thy father and mother. This is a command from the Lord and we need to follow it perfectly. Only when we start loving, honoring and taking care of our parents, we will have a bright future.
