In my previous post of the same title , I discussed only about the situations we are thrown into. But whatever the situation is , most of the elder kids are protective as well sacrificing type.
Next to parents , it is the elder siblings who takes care of the younger ones. That parental instinct is inborn I think!!!! Taking care when your mother is busy, paying their school fees , asking for a toffee or two instead of change are some of the few things the elders do unknowingly ,isn't it???
However , it is the younger ones because of whome you get an opportunity to act bigger!!! Oh! That feels good!!!! At last someone to boss around.(he he he)
I have seen many a times that elder brother and sister take care of their siblings so much that they even sacrifice leading an easy life. They are more biased towards their siblings than their own children.!!! It is the situation some of us are a witness to it also.... Remember how they would buy presents for you along with their children. Recall how you had cried for a better dress than your niece and your brother/sister brought you as per your demand!!! Such situations might seem like any normal happenings , isn't it???
When we grow older , we take different path. We have our own ambitions to chase. We fly away to our destination. Gradually we become so busy that a simple phone call seems like pushing a mountain!!! And when complained , we say that our world is more competitive than their's.
Isn't it selfish to take everything into granted. Give it a thought , when it was necessary to buy a laptop, they might have thought to present you a bike!!! Think how many dresses your elder sister might have sacrificed to give you your first watch!!!
Life is too short and we have to do a lot of things but
stop a little and turn around to all the reasons that have made you into what you are today. It takes a llittle effort. Just a phone call will do its magic or sacrifice a single foreign vaccation from the one you take every year to take a visit this time around.
Trust me , you will be the happiest of all!!!
