Answer:
"Nothing ever goes away, until it teaches us what we need to know" [Pema Chodron]
We all have problems in life, but how we percieve these problems changes the outcomes. Life is unpredictable and throws a bag full of surprises, we never know which surprise comes along with a beautiful lesson of life. There are some of us who consider this small life a race where reaching the other end first matter the most and eventually we forgot to sense the importance of very small things in our lives. The mistakes we make in life are our best teachers. Every adolescent has a time in his/her life where he/she seeks answers to some questions, love and attention of other people, takes decisions, forms opinions etc. While i was busy looking for God, seeking love from other people, i forgot to learn a very important lesson of life that, parents are the primary source for developing a sense of self-worth.
"The only God that exists is our parents, the only people who can love us more than their lives are our parents".
There was a time in my life where I could not think of the possible reasons because of which i should thank my parents. I was always ignorant of the struggles that they had to go through during my upbringing. The opinion of my friends and myself mattered the most. But, the harsh reality is that friends come and go, but parents are constant. Today, when i look back, i feel immensely loved that there are some people in my life who have loved me unconditionally but i also feel shattered that i couldn't show them the respect that they deserved. Distance teaches you the importance and the true faces of people. Today, when I am miles away from my parents and friends, every second of my life gives me a glimpse of realization that my parents possess an undying love for me. Today, I realise that the obstacles and hurdles that came across were easy to cross, not just because of my talents and strengths but because of the fact that someone was there watching my back. Much before I could realise that I have fallen in an obstacle, they were ready to lift me up and push me forward. I feel proud to say that the persona that I carry with myself today, the level of integrity and faith I live my life is all taught by my parents and nothing can repay the level of efforts they put in for me. The small things that they do for me will forever be etched in my mind.
I accept the fact that I was an ungrateful receiver of their love, but i feel so emotional and sentimental on acknowledging the love and sacrifices they had shown in raising me. Whatever i asked from them, i recieved it in extra amount, be it love, care, financial support, or sacrifices. Even though i failed to give them the honor that they deserved, their love is stilll constant and limitless. Whatever person I am today, whatever personality I reflect is all because of these two people in my life, my mom and dad. Undoubtedly, I have not thanked them enough for their guidance and love, but i will make sure that till their last breath they have a smile on their face and i should be the reason behind it.
So, this is the biggest life lesson i have learned and can be summed up in a single sentence,
"We want our friends and we need our parents".
