Betrayal That Cannot Be Forgived

By Abhijith Nair Ac

The day you put your feet on the ground and the day you sought for the next step with the help of a lifelong support and the hope of getting a backup in your life is a moment that you cant substitute or replace anything with. That moment is gifted by your parents who are the only people that would focus on your good. However mistakes you did in your life, they would have always stepped in and corrected you a thousand times .Parents may be the only ones who would sacrifice anything for your own well being and they would be the only human souls in the planet who would never expect anything in return for the love they provides you in the growth of yourself into a great personality .Even after being the lifelong souls of our life finally we desert them at some old age home far away.

The context when we read in newspapers about the number of parents found at old aged homes are so saddening. Some old souls don’t even know that they would never see their children. However times they loved their children dearly the returns they receive is the scolding and the lack of support and the pressure they go through because of the people they gave life to. The most saddened aspect of life is that it never gives second chances. Sometimes you get a life and you will get one life to make it correct. Whenever you come to the realization that you have been far away, you would realise that you would be even more farthest from them.

Life would be hard for different people .Life would turn a U turn for many people and also could unlikely for some group of people. But that doesn’t mean that you could blame your parents. Some short tempered sons would show their anger on their parents and when the parents react back with emotions they tend to desert them in places unknown or they finally end up in old age homes.

Nowadays the trend has changed. People have stopped taking them to old aged homes. As the job prospect promising countries are foreign countries mainly, the migration rate of the youth are on a rise now. Every youth in a particular family would leave their parents stoned to their houses alone. Every parent would be having only one aspect of expectation in their life which is to spend some time with their parents. At the first phase of their life they would be in the hardwork phase in their jobs when they are busy earning for their sons and daughters for school and college .And when they graduate from there, they might be in a phase that earning gets difficult when old age strikes. And this is the point where the children have to decide for their higher studies.

Migration for better livelihood is fine. But what if it’s a migration for escaping into a virtual reality leaving everything that have made their dreams true? Most parents would always wish to spend their last years with their children which often goes to vain.

And there are these peculiar personality people who feels that just by providing money and sufficient things to their homes would be a good deed to their parents. Instead the only deed they hope would be to spend a quality time with their children away from virtual reality and technology.

Let’s all hope that one day there would be a generation which realizes what they want and what they wish to give at the right time before time grows old.
