The bond that is between mother and son ..........especially the one shown in PR is PARASITICAL ! OMG ! Its EXPLOITATIVE this kind of financial dependency ! The mother son bond ain't an eternal debt , times have changed ! Children gotta move out and live THEIR LIFE !
I think of your entire commentary I found this statement very disturbing. to think that modern educated people have this mindset is very distrubing.
a parent child relationship is unique. it cannot be equated with any other relationship and should not be compromised for any other relationship. each relationship influences a person's personality and behaviour and to ignore that relationship is like abandoning that facet of your personality. credit for positive virtues and strenghts are naturally attributed to genes and upbringing not to inlaw association or spousal personality.
a mother is not obligated to bring her child in this world. not then not now.
varsha - an educated woman living securely with a devoted husband in the lap of luxury - chose to abort her child.
could savita not have done the same to manav? of course she could, there would have been no ultrasound at the time to confirm it was a boy, she could well have killed it thinking it to be a girl. she - an uneducated woman with a husband a drunk, living hand to mouth with barely any support in a big city and no skills to support her. would anyone have criticized her for aborting that child? I don't think so. decisions were very pragmatic then and seem to be the same now.
yet she chose to have him inspite of her vulnerable lifestyle.
if she is is his stepmom, she chose to keep him inspite of her vulnerable lifestlye rather than force his drunk father to give him up for adoption.
one never knows how a child will turn out - it is a risk parents take out of parental love - the child could be sickly, a drug addict, a mentally challenged person, etc, etc. no matter what the parents will be by his side. yet spouses have been known to abandon in time of hardships.
who fed him, educated him and nutured him as an infant/ child? was he self-sustaining? that is a foolish thought.
unabandoned children have an eternal debt to their parents - one that is borne out of their love , support and very presence in their lives - a parent is a child's support structure in their youth and a child is the parent's support structure in their old age. it is the cycle of life. questioning this questioning the very foundations of civilized society.
and thethought that supporting one's parent financially and otherwise can only happen in a joint family setup is equally absurd. so are we to believe that NRI's abandon their parents and do not financially or emotionally support them? there is a saying in Konkani, kam zhallo voiz melo - I am no longer sick so doctor be damned. the attitude of people with no loyalty or graitutde for blessings of associations received.
