Living Kindfully

Have Some Patience with Your Parents

This post is a reminder for me. I am not exactly a very patient person. I would lose my temper at my parents. They are old, cognitively they may not be as sharp as they were young. Due to work stress and commitments, I easily lose my temper. I may not have snapped or yelled at them. But I am sure my words and action would have felt as passive aggressive. Their days are numbered, and their behaviour would only deteriorate. Please have some patience with them. Like it or not, they did their best to bring you up. Good or bad, they cannot unwind the time and undo the mistakes. Forgive them and forgive yourself. One day, you will miss their nagging and irrational behaviour. So, enjoy the ride while you can.
