Do you like taking responsibility?

When most people were a child, their parents take care of them very well. After the children grow up, many of them take responsibility for looking after their parents as a return. Are you willing to persist in doing this work for a long time? Do you think what you done for them is meaningful? Do you make your happiness connect with their life?

I think for all my parents have done for me, it would be my duty to take care of them when they get older and can't care for themselves full time. I also have five other siblings so that makes it nice to share responsibility with them if they would agree to something like that, but if not, I would take on the responsibility however it would work out to keep my parents well taken care of - it's the least I could do for them!

That's exactly why they call it the family "tree." I love how you've explained it with the leaves going back to the ground and everything because I've never thought of it that way before. Thanks, my friend.

It is said that the family begins in a commitment of love. For me, family is my root. Though a tree grows ever so high, the falling leaves return to the ground. when most people were a child, they are similar, after they grow up, many things happen. Whoever they become to be, when they return home, they are the average person for their family. Hope every bird likes its own nest. Thanks for reply.

I think i will do and even i must do. the thing is that whatever we do with them is not the return this is the responsibility of us. i think what ever parents do with us we cant ever return back. even the difference here is that we are thinking whether we should do, they dont ever think these things for us. they do only.

It is said that love has three kinds: unselfish, mutual, ordinary or selfish. Unselfish love is of the highest kind. Our parents set a good example with their own conduct to tell us that love is a selfless act instead of a feeling. Thanks for your message also.

I think this is the way it should be in return of what are our parents have done to us after all the lives we have. This must be done with gratefulness in our hearts to serve our parents after all. Look after them on their old age must be every sons or daughters in thoughts when they've grown up. We will be nothing if not because of our parents. We didn't choose them and so they are when we faced the earth but they've done their part to raised us and if it's about time to return the favor we should be willing and grateful to do it.

I love them very much and they love me also. I could not find the best people like them. The essence of ife is to care. And we can learn something from it. Thanks for reply.

I think that we are born here for a purpose. Our responsibility with our parents is a very good way of paying what your parents have given you. Being thankful for everything that has happened to you..

Responsibility is word which has lot of meaning that should be understood first.Any work done with responsibility - and if achieved success or failure does not matter but, responsibility is a must. Sincerity,truthfulness,punctuality,all combined results in responsibility which shoulders a total faith. We have to take many responsibility as we grow up to improve ourselves.
