One thing unique about American Society in relation to Indian Society is the concept of "Self Reliance".
We have 10 children. Children bring us happiness. We are raising children for our own happiness. Making my children happy makes me happy. That is the main reason I make my children happy.
On the other hand I would never ever expect my children to help me at my old age. When I raise children I don't think about "Oh children should help parents at their old age".
I 'll stand on the earth as long as I can by myself. And then let it go.
That is living with pride and dignity.
I have seen many old living like that.
They are the ones who get the most love from their children as a matter of fact.
