"Volatile Relation"!

Yep. I was talking about being selfish.Take for instance, your small kid. How desperately you try to find someone to take care of him. If you have a helper who has grown up kids, you seem to be blessed. You want their kids to come n stay as long as possible at your home to give company to your little one n play with him. These kids of the poor helper are fed properly. Every now n then they are showered with gifts n chocolates.Taken out in your car for a nice drive. You seem to love their presence in your house. You do your work peacefully which may include wrapping up your office work or long chat with your friends on cell or laptop, or just watching television; or taking rest in your ac bedroom ;or beautifying yourself.

But what happens when your kid grows up? Where does your care for those poor kids fly? You suddenly discover how unhygienic they are. Their nails are long and dirty, their hair was never washed properly, they walk around your house with cracked feet, they wear the same shabby clothes everyday, your curtains get dirty when they hide behind them while playing hide n seek, you sanitize your kid's hands each time he comes in contact with these kids, you don't have time anymore to take them out for a drive, you don't buy chocolates or gifts for them anymore because you have to save money to secure yours as well as your kid's future.

So what changed? What went wrong? The answer is very simple. Your needs changed. Your priorities changed. Those poor kids remained their own selves, still hoping to play with your kid 'some day', getting a morsel of food 'some day', going out for a drive with your kid 'some day', receiving small gifts, at least during festivals 'some day'.

And the best part, your kid never changed. His friendship n liking for those poor kids grew even stronger with his growth. He never forgot his true companions in his time of need when his parents didn't have time for him. And the worst part, he longed for their playful n happy companionship 'every day'.
