Nothing is static in our universe. Time moves on and changes roles. Our parents, who provided us with an unbringing, an education, physical, emotional and financial security, would now desire a new and different life. Remember how carefully they guided us in our pursuits, our future dreams ? Isn't it time to change roles and think about their future ?
Our families, career and social obligations make for a busy life, which actually gives us very less time to understand our parents' aspirations. When was the last we sat down over a cup of tea with our parents and discussed not our future but theirs, not our goals, and aims but their dreams ? To tell the truth, if we had such a conversation and came to know about our parents' real wishes, we'd be surprised.
Times have changed. The passage of time doesn't mean the end of vitality or a good life, and on the contrary, our parents today are living happier, younger lives. They've also moved on in their needs, dreams and aspirations. They might want to indulge in a new pastime, lead an active lifestyle or even dream of a life in the hills.
