I always get emotional when it comes to parents. Today in our college we had a Group discussion on "Old Age Homes should be there or not". Noone lives in old age homes because they like to live their. I really pity on old people who have no option but to live in old age homes because no one really like to live in old age homes and being away from their family.
I really cant decide wheather there is a need of old age homes or not. Because in cases when the people have no childrens or relatives to take care of them or in some cases when their chiilds are setteled in abroad for their career perspectives, there is a need of old age homes where they can find the people of their age group and they can spend a good time with them. There is another one situation like if they have only one daughter and she got married then they have no option but to live their just to minimize their loneliness.
I think in this cases there should be old age homes and we have to help them. Helping them is not just to donate money to such institutes. We can help them just by spending our time with those lonely people and they are hungry of only Love. We can celebrate our Birthdays with them and make them a part of our Happiest Moments. This is only an example but by such things we can put a smile on their faces and help them to get out of their loneliness.
But there is another situation in which old people have to live in old age homes. That is the childrens who dont give respect to their parents, they always scold on them and give a treatment to parents like a servant in house. These is mainly cause after the marriage of the childrens because the wife of that child doesn't want to stay with father and mother in laws. But how can we so selfish to forget our parents who gave us a birth , fulfill our every need till the age of 20 or more for a girl who came in our life yesterday. Our first priority must be our parents. Though now a days we dont get time to spend at home because of Busy working schedule and heavy work load. But still we can have atleast a dinner togather at night and have some chat with our parents. It will atleast give them a pleasure that our chidrens love us and he will not leave us in any condition. We need our parents at every stage our life right from the birth. They have great love for us in their heart and much more for their grand childs. so, atleast for our childs we must need our parents because I think the child who never listen a fairy tales, tales of gods in his childhood from his grandparents have loose the most important part of life. This fairy tales plays a important role in child develpement.
There are some people who leave their parents after getting the property. I think they are the most cruel person in the world. We have to make a law to prevent the such cases.
This is the stage when we have to decide that do we want our parents to leave in old age homes. Its upto you and we are whole and soul responsible for our parents future. The most imortant thing that we must keep in our mind one day we will be on their stage.
