I agree with the quot...hi! dropping by here again..<br />I agree with the quote: "Life is always changing and we should also change our thoughts according to changing times, for there is really no right or wrong in any thing". True, Life is a constant change and we must have to adapt with the changes in order to get along with our present situation. We must embrace the here and now to get less regrets of the things done and gone. <br /><br />Have a Blessed Day!Destiny Renzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155892339821670934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936099531477035743.post-30139225403880939602015-02-20T13:50:01.275-08:002015-02-20T13:50:01.275-08:00I absolutely understand Rama Ananth's point of...I absolutely understand Rama Ananth's point of view and I'm sure a lot of people share it. <br />What I'm wondering is if it's the right thing not to want children because everything has changed so much. I do not like the changes and I wish we could go back in time where it wasn't all about the career and about adding more and more stress and goals to accomplish in our lives. <br />I wish it was all more about compassion and love - and that includes children for me. People need to wake up to realize that we're making ourselves unhappy with how things are now.<br /><br />Beautiful posts on this subject!

They accept what comes on their way and reciprocates or resolves as per their minds' condition at that time.We cannot blame them because everything has attained speed leaving no free time to look back or introspect their deed.As Rama said oldsters shouldn't expect much from them and if a little they do,that itself is great.<br /><br />Nice topic and nice views.O! That image really paining.I feel like writing a line on that old lady.'With no worry and hurry, sits she with her paper pals.keeping aside her age-old umbrella, her sole property'. <br /><br />I had written something like a poem(ode) on 'What is Life?'.It just reflected in my petite mind.Knowing not how good it is I worded it.

They must understand that parents have spent most of their days in taking care of children. Challenges arise when parents become possessive, obsessive, adamant and resist change. If they accept their child's growth and also decide to embrace their child's decisions, life would be good for both the parties.Locomentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891335111277665181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936099531477035743.post-20662832607485147582015-02-02T05:23:57.917-08:002015-02-02T05:23:57.917-08:00Hello from your newest follower.

I am childless myself but I do find myself concerned about the possibility of being alone in my old age and it frightens me a bit. I think if I had children, I would be disappointed if they chose not to help me in a time of need, but I can understand the barriers they might have to that.

It takes a lot of time and effort to raise children up. However, sometimes it is better for both (as for example when there are serious health problems with the elderly) that someone else (a professional) is hired to take care of them.<br /><br />Every case is always different. Sometimes children want to take care of their parents, want them to live with them but it is simply impossible because of the work hours or something else.<br /><br />http://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936099531477035743.post-64217540147628079942015-01-31T06:18:41.615-08:002015-01-31T06:18:41.615-08:00It is embodied in the New civil code of the Philip...It is embodied in the New civil code of the Philippines that a family member should help and support each member of the family. But i think even such obligation weren't written in Laws, children should help and support their old as it is their moral duty to take care of their old. That, in time when they get old their children will take care of them too..<br /><br />Just my cent of thought.

I'm not very particular about their opinion but it is theirs'and I respect it. But for me, I strongly believe that children should support their old parents. The same that parents should always support their young children. Other things do not matter to me as I only do what I think is right using love as my driving source.

These people should not be ridiculed or pitied. Children should be born into families who want them. Those children should be loved and cared for by their families. They should feel secure. They should be taught to gradually take more responsibility for their own care until they can do it on their own when the correct time comes. No parent is owed by their children. They need not expect to be supported by their children. That should not have been the reason for having children. At the same time family is a strong unit. Each member has some responsibilities to the unit. These include being pleasant to each other and as available as possible to support each other emotionally when needed. They include not making unreasonable requests of each other such as loans of money or free lodging while on vacation. Most children want to make sure their aging parents are properly cared for. But that does not mean they HAVE to support them or provide them with a place to live. However they can if they so desire.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936099531477035743.post-43730373844559896792015-01-28T15:36:05.251-08:002015-01-28T15:36:05.251-08:00Hello Joseph, you raise a very topical question an...Hello Joseph, you raise a very topical question and having lost my mother this past December, it is one I find difficult to answer. My mother lived alone in her own home by her choice. My brother and I would have liked if she lived in a residence where she could have been looked after should any medical emergency arise, and there were several the past few years. Fortunately, my brother lived in the same state and not too far from her home, so he most often would go there to help. I lived 6 hours away and while we would visit as often as possible and also brought her to our home several times, it would not have been possible for her to live with us for many reasons. So I always felt that I was not doing enough to care for my mother. Yes, in years past, families did live together and cared for one another in doing so. I do not feel that living apart means less caring, but it is still difficult at times.<br />Thank you for your recent visit and comment on our recent blog post.Beatrice P.
