Let the gap fly..

We say - we are independent . Our happiness is not dependent on anyone. But the truth is , we are the big liars. Don't we often sacrifice our wishes for others ? Don't we often cry by seeing our closed ones upset, ? specially when you know your acts won't mend the tensions between you and your lovers..

This happens with those people the most who follow a set of principles in their lives.  Everyone of us who are walking on this earth follows a set of principles. These principles can be set by their ancestors or by themselves. In today's era, Youth walks on the set of principles formed by them. They do what they find correct to follow.

On the other hand, our elders have a different set of principles to follow. They believe in the customs and beliefs set by our ancestors. They believe in the power of givingHAPPINESS .

As our angels say- "Spread love wherever you go,

                            your simple step can be the breath to someone,

                               Make this birth the best of your existence,

                            Who knows if it is the last !!

Life for them is equivalent to walking on the above lines. Actually, not only for them but for everyone of us. Just the way is different. They believe in surrendering their life for others and go on to teach this to their next generation. If we say, this is what has happened in the past. Lord Rama went for 14 years exile on the orders of raja dashrath and maata kaikayi. Because their orders were his command. We (our ancestors) believe in hindu mythology. India is a culture-rich country where all the gods are worshipped equally and with great enthusiasm. And a follower(bhakt) always follows its idol/god. Thus, our parents never think about going against their god(parents) untill and unless its about the dignity of their(our) country. And i say...there is nothing wrong in this. 

Considering the ideologies and perspective of the two generations , it will be an injustice to call any one of them wrong. Each one of the two is moving towards peace and serenity in their own ways.

Only one trait needs to be enlightened in the today's generation, that is- the power to surrender. Love them as much as you can. Do as they say whenever possible. Never try to impose your things on them, this way you are insulting them. I am not asking you to stand against your principles. But,  Don't ignore them as well. For example- If you think that a girl should not kill her dreams and their brother/partner should help them in household work. Then you will have to do both the things first. Do wonderfully at both the places. In the mean time take the support of your male partners. Make them so comfortable in the work that they start enjoying it. In this way a time will come when you won't be burdened to do the household work. When your male partners will start supporting you then the elders won't have any problem. Be calm and composed while introducing your point of view. Teach them like they don't know anything about it.

For the parents- You are the soul of every child's life. They are truly incomplete without you. You are the one who give life to their wings. You wish them a successful life in every second of your life. But, what will happen if their will be no soul in that life...

                                                  Give the ones you love

                                                   wings to fly,

                                                   roots to come back

                                                 and the  reasons to stay

                                                                       - dalai lama

Your kids are born with different wings that will cover different hieghts. They need fresh air to breathe. They can walk according to you but they are loosing their fragerance in the course of it. And no flower can bloom in the absence of aroma.

They don't want to hurt you. But, they want to go out of the cage that you have closed them in. They want to explore different skies. They want to experience what they have learnt from you and their teachers. Or i should say- they want to check if that really exist. It's not that they don't trust you. They are curious , just like einstein was after science. And curosity is the mother of invention. If they discover something contradictory to what you believe then accept that. Because all of us are human beings, we can be wrong at some times. If you think the child is wrog then explain it how,..as it is curious. Don't say society won't accept. Their are many times when society has criticized but at the end has accepted. So, let its inner grace grow. Let the knowledge prosper.

And the time will come when the people will forget ..What  The  Generation Gap IS.  They will just remember the two lovely birds of different ages living HAPPILY...:)
