yes, for me the answer is YES. Every time when I think of this, especially late at night, I always feel sinful and heart-breaking. I know I have owed too much to my dear parents. Knowing they are sleeping next door quietly makes my mind peaceful. Every time when I want to go abroad, I am hesitated because of them. see? I haven't done anything or much to repay the ones who love me more than themselves a thousand times. how could I leave them when they are old, need my accompany? Leaving a desperate country governed by an unreasonable political body has always been my dream, but the desire time and time again been overwhelmed by a stronger desire, to stay around my parents. Maybe I haven't done anything to reward them, but I know that knowing and seeing me safe and sound is their greatest happiness.

Yes I feel like I owe a lot to a lot of people. I feel like I owe my mom a lot of things because she's done so well in putting up with me and raising me and helping me get to the point that I'm currently at in life. I feel like I owe my friends love because of the great companionship they have given me throughout life. I think that we all owe each other something though even if it's the common courtesy of just being nice to each other we should still do it.

I have the same answer as you. I owe a lot to my parents and until now I'm still unable to repay them. It's a fact that the parents are the only people in the world who would never harm us and are willing to sacrifice themselves for our sake. Sometimes I may not understand their decisions, but finally I find that what they did are totally for my sake, which moves me a lot. I think that we should cherish every minute we stay with our parents.

In terms of money? No. I don't owe money to anyone and would always avoid it. I was brought up to believe that you can't have what you can't afford.
In terms of love, respect, being grateful? I owe people all of these things. There are many good people out there. Friends, family. But I don't think I owe them too much. I try to give what I get, so hopefully it is never out of balance.
