Self Reliance
by Senthil Kumar on Mar 09, 2007 09:02 PM

We are lacking
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 in turn. 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 people living like that.

They are the ones who get the most love
from their children as a matter of fact.
