Being an Elder or Senior does not excuse bad behavior

It might not seem as obvious as it truly is, but just because you are older than someone or a senior citizen, that does not excuse you from karma!

I am so tired of this serial ( and others too) from showing how an elder in your family is behaving in an abominable manner and everyone junior is expected to grovel to this person as if they are God. Well if they were god, they wouldn't be behaving in a bad manner, so that point is mote.

Babyma is unbearable, and so is Akshara, our so called protagonist. Enough of this grovelling and begging for forgiveness when it is clear that babyma is in the wrong in every way. For those who adhere to rigid orthodox family structures, even in the Mahabharat, Krsna never approved of blindly obeying and following elders that are in the wrong e.g. Dhritarashtra.

I am not sure why this show is going in this direction, because i am tired of this ludicrous story line. What is going to be even more infuriating is when Baby ma will realize her mistake (hopefully before she joins her husband) and simply say one 'Sorry' and that will make up for the decade long abuse and neglect! That's how easy it is to make a grave mistake and still come out on top! woh, sounds great doesn't it if you are an elder?

Well, let me share that i am an elder in my family and i don't expect to get off for anything. I try each and every day to make personal growth and think long and hard about actions that hurt others. Got a long way to go folks, but the key word is that i am trying, and not relying on those younger than me to put up with any bad behavior from me. Told my teen that i too am subject to consequences for bad choices/behavior and open for reproofs. Infact, the older you are, the more accountable you should be.
