Sharing shows your care as well

Greetings to the most lovely read and write community. The weather here is cold but its a sunny day. No heat just a pleasant weather. The more you sit idle the more you feel sleepy. Just a week ago the humidity was so high that I was not able to spend sometime in my kitchen. Just drenching due to heat. The immediate climate change is a blessing for me as my fasting is going smoothly.

Well coming back to rhe topic. There was time when Indian households has too many members in a family to be managed. There must be just one bread winner in the family to comply to the needs of the whole family. The other source of jncome was agriculture. It is just a meagre income to earn from it. But the grace in which the large family went on with this small income, is something worth to be complemented. The lesson of sharing starts here. No selfishness, no ego, no hatred, not envious... only happiness being shared with the little income.

The children in such families grow up seeing the elders. When it comes to food, they are just laid on the table with each of them getting their share. Sometimes it so happens the firsr served gets more while the last gets little. But then it is taken by the last member with no complaints while the others get ready to share their part with the last one. This is were caring starts.

When all of a sudden any problems arise, all of them stand willingly together for eachother, showing their part of care and concern. On the contrary, when a day for happiness arise they rejoice and share the happiness as they are in heaven. Such is the unity among these family members.

The advantage of this community is when one falls sick, there are more number of people to take care of the sick one.

In today's generation we find more of nuclear family. Too many reasons for the upcoming of such families. Though some has its own positive approach, some has its negative effects too. When looking into the postive side - more parents are working, inflation, privacy, lifestyles, especially when adapting to fast food lifestyle and more important privacy as they spent too little time, when working parents are concerned.

Looking at the negative side, the children here are the most affected. They get very less time to meet their parents or close relatives but there needs are being fulfilled. When the time arrives for them to fly, they will definitely move out for their good. As such the question of sharing and caring never arise. But here once again its the parents who suffer literally in their old age with no one to take care of them.

To conclude, when good lessons are being imparted to the younger generation, the first and foremost lesson should be the lesson of share and care. To know the depth of this once in a while the children should be taken to the old age homes.
