Old people are ignored in most countries. Why do we forget that everyone gets old someday. Even you and I will get old some day. Young people forget all that their parents have done for them and take old parents as burden. Are we growing less human as we wallow in all the luxuries that technology has given us? One of the most important trait of humanity is to be humble enough to return the favor that someone has done. While we try to keep track of the favor that we owe to friends and foes, we forget the natal favor that we owe to our parents who have brought us up and endured a lot of hardship in bringing us up. Is media showing that it's cool to ignore your parents? I remember when I was growing up, i used to be shy to be seen by my friends when I was with my parents. I don't think it's a natural behavior to start shunning one's parents. Is the society in general teaching kids that parents are not cool? These are some things we should think about. At least we have to be humane enough to return the favor to our parents. That's all.
