When we come to this world, we are welcomed with open arms - open hearts as well. Unfortunately as we grow older the love gets on becoming conditional.
As I am a 1985 born I felt during my BS last semesters I remember my mother expecting me to help her in kitchen, while I used to do my university work in late evening [IF SHE COULD COMMUNICATE IT CLEARLY WITH LOVE AND LETTING ME ORGANIZE MY SCHEDULE TO HELP HER OUT IN WORK].
One other thing I remember from that time is one day me and my mother was washing whole house, cleaning and everything. As some one hour was left in Aftar (breaking fast) when I looked or observed my father and brother they were not seeming out helping us out in food preparation work in kitchen. Islamically and on human grounds they could have helped us but unfortunately the gender labeled norms in our society make life stingy for all of us.
During my BS (a four year program in university after FSc) our teacher told us when you turn 23 or cross 23, no one will ever consider you as student. Instead everyone will start expecting things from you. That statement was very very true. I started taking internship for gaining experience, popped into MS (masters program) to get a job for my family BUT one thing I never got appreciation from my parents, nor could share the excitement of getting my salary or buying anything with it. I still remember my mother didn't encouraged me to buy something for my paternal grandmother who died after a year. I was so stupid taking their affirmation in my life decisions. Seems very wierd but I couldn't see happiness on my father's face on my second last increment.
The sad reality is this all is happening now in so much pace that I see kids age 2 or 3 loosing unconditional love in their lives. People often say we dwelve in online world whilst in reality we don't have anyone around us we could share our heart with.
Sometime I think to create an app that could talk to humans 🙂 sort of filling the human void inside us.
