Parents

While discussing with one person about his son career, I came across a question. Should parents allow their children to go away for better future risking emotional attachment with the family?

I personally feel that the emotional attachment never depends on the physical distance. For a while we will consider that it depends on physical distance. Is not it parents’ duty to take care of their children future and guide them correctly?

I heard many times parents saying that if their son stays away from them, he won’t have emotional attachment and then he won’t look after them in their old age. Is it a business? You invest some thing at starting hoping to get out come when you require.

It is said correctly in Bhagvat Geet that "Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani" ("You have a right to perform your prescribed action,but you are not entitled to the fruits of your action.
Never consider yourself the cause of the results your activities,and never be associated to not doing your duty.")

Sometimes I also heard that some parents do not allow their children go away from family because they want to keep their children under their wings where children are always safe and they are away from all type of bad elements. But parents forget one thing that many birds do crash landings during their first flight and those, who do not, make their wings stronger before the first flight with regular practice.

But off course it is always subjective which is the right time to take the first flight. That is the decision where parents play very vital role. But parents should remember, today or tomorrow the kid has to face this world.
