THE VALUE OF PARENTS
I have changed the way I react to my parents....
HAVE YOU???
If not read the following, and think!!!
Value of your parents ....
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 expression of irritation was felt in the Son's one when he said to his father with a rebuff. "It's a Crow, a crow." A little after, the Father again asked his Son the 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 sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 time 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 affectionate for my innocvent child". While the little child asksed him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.
So...
If your parents attain the 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. From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me and 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".
Say a prayer to God, " 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.. Thanks for spending ur time on reading this mail ......
