Hi friends,
Parents bring up the children, educate them, get them married and make them settle in their life. The parents toil day and night. Their suffering is unimaginable. They do it as a penance. They forego their likes and dislikes. What happens afterward is intriguing.
When they lived as a family, there was no secret. There was love, affection, understanding, give and take, sharing, and caring. They lived for mutual benefit. Everyone felt like a part of the unit. The children knew about the parents, their physical, financial, emotional, and psychological needs.
But what happens when the children get married? They, in turn, get children and lead a similar life to that of their parents. But something intriguing takes place which most of us fail to observe. The children become a separate unit. Secrecy crops up between the two units.
After the marriage, when the children visit their parents, they are received and INCLUDED INTO THEIR FAMILY. There is no secret among them. As before, the parents share about their income, expenses, health, investments, insurance, etc with their children. There is joy and happiness until the children leave.
Whereas, when the parents visit their children, they are just received. They are not INCLUDED INTO THEIR FAMILY. The children keep secrets. Most of the children do not disclose their income, expenses, health, investments, insurance, etc. to their parents. They are indifferent. They feel they are separate.
WHY THIS INDIFFERENCE?
