Today many old people feel offended

Today we fail to realize that one day we all have to reach a stage in life when they need help, love, and kindness of our younger ones.  We forget very easily that our parents have spent many sleepless nights to give us comfortable sleep. They helped us, motivate us and to achieve our goals. Now when they need our care & love, what we do? We feel that they are the burden on us, and we have no time for them.

Nowadays, many children just want all property being handed over to them, and then they don’t care for their parents. They leave their parents on their own.  We came across many instances that old couples were living alone in their home, and unfortunately some of them were brutally murdered & devastated in their home...
