Something to Ponder‏

The world has changed rapidly and advance in every sectors since the days where stones were rub against each other to start a fire. But on the other hand, morals and family values have deteriorated just as fast. Gone were the days when children kneeled and offered tea to their parents but nowadays, parents get beaten by their children and even have to repay their debts. Parents in olden days, provide and educate their children but now we hear of child abuse. How about the special place at home where the whole family gathered and paid respects to the ancestors. The annual thanksgiving and all souls day offering attended by the whole family. Have we ever ponder why we must respect and offer thanks to the souls. Well, did we ever realize that the present luxuries, advancement, inventions etc. were also partly contributed by them when they were alive!!!.
