WARPED THINKING
When pp have kids, they shouldn't be doing it with the intention of securing their own future, placing the burden of elderly care on their own children. Childern are born into this world not of their choice, but of the actions of their parents. Hence it is the responsibility of the parents to nuture and care for the child. Any sacrifices made along the way should have been accounted and planned for way before the decision to embark on this life-mission. It is the same as having a pet - you're responsible for its whole life. And even if it turns out to be an unsatisfactory pet, u just have to accept that life isn't fair. It is no fault of the kids or pets if they dun meet their parents' requirement. It wasn't their choice to be born or adopted in the first place.
Every person is an individual with their own thoughts, aspirations and plans. Every person is unique and live their lives differently. As a parent, one should not enforce your way of life and thinking on your child and expect them to be just like you. If a person prefers to work hard, suffer and sacrifice for a brighter future, so be it -- it is a conscious personal choice. If a person decides to fight for their dreams NOW -- why is that so hard to understand? Must one always be secure financially to be happy and fulfilled in this world? NO.
Look at all the rich and accomplished pp? Are ALL of them happy and fulfilled as they seem to be? Are they kind and nice pp just becos they hv a stable income and no worries for the future? Nope. It is more impt in this life to live it with meaning, with kindness, to be a better person. If there is no beauty within, no love for oneself and others as a person, then there is no point in beautifying the exterior or securing the future.
Life
is best when simple, beautiful and pure.
Not clouded with negativity, pettiness and cruelty.
A family should signify care and love for each other, not expectations, obligations and repayment. Filial piety is so overpriced in our culture that it is meaningless if done out of pure obligation.
Once a child is an adult, their lives should be theirs to plan, not bound by parental expectations. Pp are responsible for their own lives, whether it turns out successful or not. They should have the freedom to choose how they live becos that is the only thing they truly have.
