Mother's plight

Everyday I could write about my mother. She is trying to get up and run!!!! but the weak legs are not allowing her to even stand up. So unfortunate. I keep teasing her, cajoling her so that she gets some 'pep' from my talk and she tries to get up. But no chance, at least as of now. Today there is hope again walked into our home in the form of Dr. Chandrashekar. He is an Ayurvedic doctor. He seems to have 'read' my mother's condition and has given quite a big chunk of hope that 'everything would be alright. Are we all not hopeless hopefuls? There is a saying, if wishes were horses.. fears are liars. wishes, yes, they are there only to keep us alive. We keep on wishing for something or the other the whole of our life in lieu of which the life is meaningless. we need to move on with hopes over hopes. If they become true, be happy. But if they do not become true, then you are not going to be disappointed. Change the hope and keep on living. The show must go on. When we see things like the kid of 15 years committed suicide because the marks got in the exams was very less and there was a failure. Well, is this the end of the world? the parents should teach the kids how to live and how to live tough. Instead they think of the 'words' they have to listen to from the neighbours. Well, are our lives only worth that?
