We don’t owe anyone anything:
One of the things that society or people on social media did well was convincing people (parents/children) that they owe things to each other like a debt. Which in its place removes purity, unconditional love from these relationships.
The way I see it is that when people gift things, show kindness or some goodness of its sort to their parents as a payback for their so-called debt, what they are saying is that those parents did these things as a debt (investment) expecting you will pay back one day. Which sometimes doesn’t relate to what those parents said when doing those goodness to you. There are many nuances and details that comes with this, but I am just giving a subtle thinking exercise for you, have you ever asked what their (parents) intentions were when doing good to you?
Is this what unconditional love is or are we just a good investment target for our parents?
