TRUTH is UNBEARABLE. But it is a naked fact that hardly anyone cares to his or her parents in their old age, the last phase of human life. A child is brought up, taken care till getting his or her commonsense. Guidance, suggestion and above all, food and nutrition, and many more are provided to them by the parents in order to make their children physically and mentally strong. Because, the parents know very well that in the modern society if any concept exists then it is “survival is the fittest”. Parents know their duty and responsibility. Hence, they desperately endeavour for making a good career for their kids without knowing the adverse effect of their love and affection for their own modern child. In this material world where young people hardly believe in God, it is a matter of modern fashion that old age parents are left alone in the old age home, a place to wait for last breath of life.
Jesus left home because he had a message of Almighty for the human beings i.e. to adore. Buddha renounced his kingdom as he was tortured by the miserable conditions of human life and sought salvation from the chain of rebirth, a concept of Hinduism. Zoroaster enlightened the world by preaching universal brotherhood. These were all human beings of flesh and blood. They were the sons of their parents and they never ever neglected the importance of parents. But, in the modern society, the child when it grows younger, earns money and enjoys all the modern facilities, he or she never cares for his or her old parents.
The young children forget the pain which his or her parents tolerated to pave the way of success for them. If the spectacle of old mother breaks unexpectedly or the old father wants some delicious food to taste, then, they are ignored or they hear very rough words from their modern children who are now grown up and better educated. The modern young children feel it wastage of money if they expense on the medical treatment of their old parents. It is seen that most modern boys and girls who are qualified and sensible, behave in an abnormal way while communicating with their old parents. They are in no mood to understand the feelings and emotions of their parents.
They make a frame of certain rules to be followed by everyone who would like to make relation with them, be it relative or friend. The modern young children consider everything in the eyes of transaction, i.e. “give and take policy”. If anything has become a problem for them, then it is none other than the “BURDEN OF PARENTS”.
Excessive materialism and lack of devotion in spiritualism have deprived the modern human beings to remain far away from the parents in general and old age in particular. It is considered that parents are the living image of God and Goddess. Modern civilization is very much keen in adopting a life style where there is no place for begging even if it is a matter of blessing from elders.
Nuclear family is the order of the modern inhabitants. Living within the fourwalls of home has become the identity of modern civilized people. A word, i.e. “Generation Gap” has little value in comparision to “Communication Gap” in respect to the relationship maintained by the modern human beings with their old aged parents. Every age has its own philosophy, tradition and culture. It is not possible for the old aged parents to be departed from their own attitudes with whom they have been living years of years. Modern young child feels awkward while moving with his or her old aged parents in outside of home, be it in a park or a coffee shop, be it in a theatre or be it in a party. Modern child possesses a concept that old aged people have their old dated traditional thoughts. In true sense, if I will narrate anything regarding this topic then the real happiness lies in the lap of old aged parents…THINK A WHILE.
