Dreamy Wonderland

Have all of you done your responsibilities towards your pareents..?
Maybe most of us thought that, ‘ I have done my best to cared for them...’ but if we are willing to spend a little time to really thought about it, maybe we have done nothing...
Maybe all of this time we are just hurting them without we really realized it. Instead of showing care to them..

Here is a short story, taken from http://www.inspirationallane.com.
I’ll always remember this story in mind, so that I won’t go over the same mistake in this story..

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.
The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"
The Son replied "It is a crow".

After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"
The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".

After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time,
What is this?"
At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow".

A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?"
This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"


A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary :-
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child".


While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times but when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.

In my life, I once witnessed quite a same scene, my friend got irritated and shouted back at her parents when her parents go over the same sentence asking her to take care of herself in the journey which we are taking and don’t forget to let them know how she’s been. Can you imagine how would you feel if you are in the parents position..? You’ve got nothing instead of your child anger when you showed him/her concern.

So...., If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. Always remember how they had cared for us, how they had worked hard to educte us, and how much they had loved us, regardless what we had done, regardless the troubles we had caused.

I once hear that, “parents don’t demand that we repay their money which was spent on us. Parents also don’t demand their children to give them a luxurious living. All that they ask for is our love and care for them. It means so much more than anything else in this world. You may not understand or realized it until you are a parent yourself.”

From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me. They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today. I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave.".
