WHY DO PARENTS ALWAYS HAVE TO SACRIFICE AND SUFFER?
Well you might find it strange me writing it, but my analysis is as follows:
It may be look to take time ,but here it is not the question of time management everyone have to know the fact:
Right from the time that you are in your mothers womb, she suffers the pain but never does she complaint of having you in her. All she does is SMILES and awaits your arrival and prays to God all the time that you get the best and to give her the strength to keep you happy always.
Then when you come into this world, whether or not they have enough reserves to celebrate your arrival, they manage celebration of your incoming to this world with happiness and joy not alone, not by themselves but with friends and relatives. They let the entire world around them know that YOU have come and how lucky they are to have to.. ALAS…
wiat a minute once think of you
You grow a little older and start your tantrums. You start comparing your parents with other childrens parents and what they give them and hence what you dont get. You start sometimes demanding more than their reach, but all they do is Smile, Work Harder, Squeeze in work even in some little free time that they have, earn more money and fulfill most if not all your demands. For that little time you are happy and then your demands pop up… Well, if you are reading this and don’t agree to this, you might have been a good child and remember this article is not about YOU, but about the various other YOU’s I have seen in my life which have compelled me to think and….hence write ![]()
Ok where were we, at the never ending demands! Then once teenage arrives, all we think of is friends, movies and fun and frolic. Little do we realize, that our parents too need time. But at all those times they sacrifice, thinking “its my childs teenage, it will never arrive again, so let my child enjoy, we have whole life to be together”. At such an age, we do what we feel like hardly stopping over to think that probably night outs with parents and movies and weekends with them could mean much more to them after all the years of efforts they have given in on us. But they are the ones sacrificed by us… yes “by us…” and for what. .. mmmm.. you know the answer…
!
Anyways, going forward our parents keep working hard to make our present bright, future brighter and little do they know their present darker… since they never really live their present for themselves but all they do in their present is worry about OUR Future! Can you believe it… how much parents suffer and go through to just see smiles on their childerns faces! It is tough! Just think about it, can you do it all your life so someone right now who is the dearest to you.. you would probably say Yes, but start doing it and you know how tough it gets.. and keeps getting!
Time for your wedding bells to ring, for which parents use up loads of money, their hard earned money, and celebrate the wedding. You and your beloved happily come to your home and start living together. Adjusting with new life, new people .. i know it is tough.. but the best thing too if you realize! Not all have this culture where in parents take care of their kids even after their wedding and let them live together.. but in India WE DO! A fact to not ignore but appreciate that when even though when your parents need you the most, they are still there for you and your new family since you are probably not capable to handle it all (the home, food, other expenses) on your own.
What do parents get after all this? Time to spend with their children, no not at all. Good and kind words and a hug whenever their children see them at home, oh forget it! Most of the times (excluding some really lucky parents) get IGNORANCE as a reward or worse still… Harsh words, Belittling, Being thrown out of homes, dumped in old age homes, treated as mere pain creators, abused for interfering in childs personal lives, blamed for mistreating grandchildren when what they do is actually love them and it goes on!
I ask myself, do our parents really deserve this? Where do they go wrong in bringing you up? Would they be better of if they threw you when you were born in asylums and orphanages, but this is what we treat them like. They would have been better off did they not have children than have children who discard them so easily from their lives!
All will have only one reason is yes for your mother but what you are doing for her?
Make her happy from now it will be a great acheivement for you .
Think, get up and hug your parents.. you never know if you will have a second chance tomorrow to do the same ![]()
