WE WORK FOR THE CHILDREN!

That is the explanation for the struggles of so many people. They work so hard, make deals, and if they are in a vantage point, they use it or even resort to outright stealing so that they can provide for their children and even grandchildren yet to be born!

Let us free ourselves from this burden. It is absolutely unnecessary. We must consider that child bearing does not mean that you have to deny the child the benefit of finding his own feet early in life. Through earthly birth, parents simply provide a physical body for the spirit of the child which is a tool as he journeys on earth on the path to spiritual maturity which involves knowing the Will of God and making it a deed!

Once the parents have taken care of the child to the point where the child can take care of his own physical body, then anything done beyond that is a gift because the child is really an independent individual who is just a guest of the parents who have implicitly agreed by their voluntary act of love to accept this loved one.

If the parents live only for their children then they have missed the very purpose of their lives: the redemption of past errors, spiritual maturity and salvation. Just as parents have a lot of work to do on themselves, children too  must realise that they are on earth to fulfil their own purpose and must seek to be independent of their parents as soon as possible and not revel in a sense of entitlement that is really non-existent!
