His message is clear:
“Take care today, because tomorrow you may be the one who needs care.”
“You get what you give” : more than a proverb, a human truth.
This often-repeated phrase takes on a particular resonance here. What we sow through our actions, our presence, our attention… always comes back to us in one way or another.
Respecting one’s parents is not a fixed tradition , nor a moral obligation. It is a way of transmitting a culture of respect, love, and gratitude.
How can we integrate this lesson into our lives?
- Call more often : A simple “How are you?” can turn a day around.
- Give quality time : A sincere presence is better than a quick visit.
- Think about the comfort of our elders : A fan, an armchair, a little attention… can transform everything.
- Talk to your children : Show them, by example, that caring for others is a valuable asset to be passed on.
What if, starting today, we started building the world we would like to grow old in?
