They were on the sofa in their living room, an 80-year-old man and his 45-year-old, highly educated son. On their window, a bird unintentionally descended.
The Father inquired of his Son, “What is this?”. It’s a crow, the Son retorted. The Father again questioned his Son, “What is this,” after a while. The Son cried out, “Father, I just told you.”. The old father asked his Son, “What is this?” a third time following a lengthy pause. There was a hint of annoyance in the Son’s voice as he reprimanded his Father at this point. The sound of three crows. After a brief pause, the Father asked his Son, “What is this?” a fourth time.
This time, the Son yelled at his Father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question when I’ve told you so many times, “IT IS A CROW”?”. Do you not comprehend this at all?
Soon after, the father emerged from his room carrying the worn-out journal he had been keeping ever since the birth of his child. As he turned the page, he asked his son to read it. The son discovered the following entries in the journal:.
“Today, my three-year-old son and I were on the couch when a crow perched on the window. My son enquired about it 23 times, and I told him each time that it was a crow. Every time he posed the same query to me 23 times, I gave him a tender hug. I didn’t feel annoyed at all; I just felt love for my helpless child. ”.
The father responded without flinching to the toddler’s 23 questions about what it was. The son felt uncomfortable and irritated when the father asked the same question to him today just four times.
So….
Please treat your parents with kindness and respect as they age rather than with resentment or as a burden. Pay your parents due respect. Start saying it out loud right now: I want to see my parents happy for the rest of their lives. From the time I was a young child, they have taken care of me. They’ve always showered me with their unwavering devotion.
I crossed all the valleys and mountains without feeling the heat or the storm, to make me suitable for modern society. You could give thanks to God and vow to provide your elderly parents with the BEST care possible. I will always be kind to my lovely parents, no matter what they do. ”.
