An Unpayable Debt: Family Is The Most Important Thing in The World

This document discusses the importance of family, particularly parents, through three main points: 1) Parents transform their lives completely by caring for their infant child from the moment of birth. Their priorities shift entirely to focus on the new life. 2) Without parents, one's chances of survival and development would be minimal. Parents sacrifice greatly through sleepless nights, care during illness, and teaching basic skills like walking and eating. 3) The author considers himself lucky to have a caring family but wonders how he can ever repay the debt of love, guidance, affection, and care provided by his parents, particularly his father who works tirelessly and is like a "genie" ensuring the author's success and well

An Unpayable Debt

An unfeigned hollering, with concomitant glinting eyes, animadverting at the infirmary


to woo the dear ones yeah! Thats how... that is how we all begin our journey (or say life) as an
infant. May be the most joyous moment for parents. This fugacious moment transforms their
whole world with the blink of an eye. Just one touch of soft feeble hands and all the priorities
are changed forever. Thus, parturition leads to the offset of not one but three new lives at the
same time.
You must be wondering, why am I telling you all this? The reason is simple. Have you
ever pondered, what could have been your lives without parents? What could have possibly
happened if no one was there to hold your hand when you fall? What could have been the
prospects of survival? Who would have squandered his life to make your existence worth? Who
would have spent umpteen watchful and ungratified nights for you when you fell ill? I have been
cogitating for months and all I can say is... even one day without father or mother, whoa! Its
horrifying. A shiver runs down the spine. If it were not my parents, then who would have hold
my hand and taught me how to walk? Who would have impelled me to eat that extra bite just to
make sure that I wasnt hungry? These countless questions keep on gyrating in my head every
day and night. But to be honest with myself, I dont want answer to anyone of them, because
the answers are obvious and crucifying.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Dictionary says, Family -- A social unit living together. Really? Is that it? I dont believe
so. If it were just a social unit, then how could it be the most important thing? You dont outlay
your life for a social unit. You dont strive for well being of a social unit, do you? Then what is it
that makes this so called social unit A Family, where your needs and wishes are given prime
importance. The connection remains a mystery for obtuse mind like mine. I consider myself
lucky... lucky enough to have an adorable and caring family. But I wonder how I would pay back
their debt of love, tutelage, affection & care.
All I am I owe to my father. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and
physical education I received from him. He usually says that I am his whole life. He works
tirelessly day and night just to make sure that I get what I want. Well, for me he is no less than a
genie. I dont know how he does it or why he does it. All I know is, I sleep soundly at night and
wake up gayly in the morning. I make mistakes intrepidly because I know my genie is gonna
catch me whenever I fall. I walk down the road to Damascus blindfoldedly at times because I
know he is there to steer me in right direction.
Papa, thank you for being there. I want to tell you, I love you more than anything else in
this world. I owe you my life. But I cant repay the debt... for this debt is unpayable.
