Why, why, why …Why are we increasingly hearing that children let down their parents in old age?

No gratitude is the principle followed by the coming generation. Why so? This because they feel that what their parents did was their duty not sacrifice not love not emotions. Personally, I feel that this all is the aftermath of the tv Invasion that doles out shows without fodder for the brain. Thoughtless movies full of violence and abusive language serve no purpose but imitation. With parents and children often watching such things together, the line of limit is over. Another reason is because of apathy. A totally lack of feelings or concern for parents when they grow up and become independent. This apart, out of compulsion, children may have to stay away from the parents due to their livelihood. So they need to fly off the nest and unlike the past habit of visiting hometown during festivals, the current trend is to visit exotic places around the world. 

So, feelings for the aging parents take a backseat and from there into the dickie. The outcome is that such children won't even give it a thought before repeating harsh, insensitive words in front of anyone.

The circle of karma is what the current generation is forgetting. I wish had the magic to show the past lives of happy and suffering people so that the realisation of karma on what you sow is what you reap can be displayed, to all, as evidence. 

But, life is also about…what goes around, comes around and forgetting this in youth, gets to be a reminder for some, in their old age, around of their youth and their failings.

What is love?

Inspite of enormous knowledge, which humans have absorbed, there are some questions and issues which seem to be still unanswered. One of the most intiguing, absorbing, and fascinating topics is the oft repeated question, “What is love?” 

Love appears to be a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes which ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure. 

Since people often disagree about what love is or what the word "Love" means, I suggest a usage and classification that is meant to be clear and that is also meant to capture the important features of the varied ideas people, now, have about the subject.

Love means different things to different people. For some, love can be purely romantic, for others real Love truly exists only between family members, and for some love is everywhere and can concernn aything. Nonetheless it seems inevitable that love is one of the most beautiful and strongest feelings in the world.

A rational approach to "Love" can exist not just by voicing unsupported opinion, but giving evidence from relationships and their components in a rational way through insight, perspective, and knowledge from looking at ordinary experiences.  Based on this conjecture, i think there seems to be 3 distinguishable types of love: conceptual love, love to family members, and love to a partner.

Little do people know how easy it is to fall in love, not only in others but also in things.“Conceptual love” is a feeling toward objects such as jewelry, shoes, and a wide variety of other items usually closely connected with people’s hobbys and interests. Very similar feeling can be perceived towards animals which are frequently treated as family members, nonetheless this affection is not as strong as an attachment bewteen people in one family.

Family members trust each other, rely on each other, and take care of each other; however there is a special relationship which pretends to be the strongest one in family relations, viz.: parent’s love for a child. This emotional bond comes from a natural instinct to protect the offspring and what is more, is that this love can often start before the baby is even born.

The last type of love, which is very often believed to be the most beautiful one is the affection between partners, people of any description, be they married or cohabiting, boyfriend and girlfriend, straight or gay, young or old. This love is a relationship of mutual understanding and respect. In this sort of love, in any relationship between 2 people the ultimate is when it is indestructible und unconditional.
