As Mallika Chopra, from 100 promises to my baby rightly pointed out, we as parents should be honored and privileged that baby has put in the complete trust in us from day 1 and it is our duty to uphold it. Sometimes it is terrifying and overwhelming... but most of the time it is rewarding. ,.....especially when she gave you the first smile, then squeals of laughter and gurgle. Don't you look with wonder at God's mystical creations? In fact , I was frightened when she was in the womb itself, each time she didn't move and the frantic rushes to the hospital .. when she had her first stranger anxiety...when she was scared of the pressure cooker whistles when she was over 3 months old.Withholding the trust gives baby the sense of security and the courage needed to survive in the big bad world .

This is when I think about of the orphaned bubs. Imagine being that baby who has lost the complete trust.
Is 'nt that why they are insecure and majority of the time so lovable. I feel the pain for the parents who simply had to give up the baby because that was the only choice they had.
Don't you still love feel being Daddy's little girl or Mama's little boy because they as parents instilled the feeling in you they are there no matter what?
When I think about this , I sometimes feel we also have another duty of upholding trust, this time to our parents. As they get older and weaker, they are in fact becoming like babies in some ways...insecure and dependent. Shouldn't we be protecting them too when something which is not right is happening? Or should we just keep mum and let God handle it himself? This is a situation I am noticing each time I am peering into our society where relatives and others looting elderly people....
Shoot me your thoughts......

In fact I feel I owe our parents and children a lot more than what we can give because they brought so much happiness to our lives..
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting blog and supporting me, my dear friend. So true about happiness. This is when the sense of withholding the trust to our parents and children comes in full force. As an onlooker, I feel that the ageing generation is unduly taken advantage of, both in an emotional and financial ways.....
ReplyDeleteWhat goes around.. comes around! That's the law of nature/karma.
ReplyDeleteWe need to protect our parents/elders, just like the way we would want to be treated in our old age.
The title is utterly misplaced.. Why would trust be withheld? Do shoot your thoughts..
DeleteThank you for pointing it out:) Have made the correction..
