Aging Parents

I have seen and heard of many, in fact, unbelievably more than what I expect, 'old folks'' homes in almost all countries in the world. Though I have not yet gone on a world tour to observe and confirm what I have been hearing from friends about the poignant and heartbreaking sight of the 'old folks' who have been neglected by their children, I have been kept well informed by the mass media.

They may give excuses like seeking solace somewhere. Where were they when the children and wives were trying to cope with the hardships? Cooling himself down somewhere? How responsible! To take him back would not be justice. In addition, there are far too many cases of abuse of children by parents and even extreme cases of parents selling their children into prostitution. In such cases too, the children's decision in not wanting to look after their parents may be considered justifiable.

ly the happy and sad memories that have shaped up their lives and just waiting for death to claim them.

Another question may arise; what if the children are not physically, mentally, or even financially strong enough to look after and support their parents. What if they are too sick to cater to their parents' needs? There are also cases of children
