It takes two, always two, to
distort a relationship. And even in this, depending on the nature of the
relationship, one may naturally give more and keep giving IN more, perhaps as a
parent would.
But often, the more you give, the
less you are respected. It is misunderstood as weakness. But let’s put this one
question to parents first. However thoughtless your children are, can you stop
loving them or readily helping them when they are in need? I don’t know of one
parent who would abstain. They are a part of you and for a mother, created from
her own flesh and blood.
The same question to the
children. One youngster said to me, “well, we did not ask to be born, so, why are
we expected to listen to our parents?” “And why can’t we judge our parents too,
as we do others? “
The fact is, EACH soul chooses
the mother as much as the parents want the child. It is a two-way traffic. Yes,
nature has willed the flow of life to be one of parents to children to children
becoming parents and so on.
But, the connectivity in the
universe inevitably demands some rules to be observed. We cannot walk away from
our reciprocal value systems. The love energy makes it possible to fulfil these
duties and responsibilities.
Very rarely if at all, in these
times, do we see a Shravan kumar carrying his blind parents on his shoulders.
Unfortunately, the heretofore unheard abuse of parents in many ways has
disconnected families as never before. Family pride is confined to power and
status more than unity and support.
Just as friends are becoming extended family because natural families are
falling apart, so is AI going to replace the original human intelligence that
has gone wrong and become corrupted and self-indulgent, causing severe imbalances.
Is it ok then to say, “well, we
are helpless” and that this is a new wave setting in, a synthetic wave which
has not risen out of the ocean and cannot merge into the ocean. It is as
artificially existent as the robot is today. Who knows if, in time, the human
race will become extinct also, like the dinosaurs! And only robots will exist!
And remember, the original
thought was at a micro level!
