| Housewives who
cheerfully live with there own aging parents or with their husband’s parent warrant
our particular recognition and deserve special admiration. Few sights are so
heartrending as the huddling of old people together, whether in modest nursing homes or in
shining retirement communities. No buildings, no
pools, no gardens, however elaborate and expen- sive, can ever replace the tender
love, the true affection, the respect and reverence that the young accord to the old,
particul- arly in the precious and intimate relation- ships between children and
parents. The plight of the aged in modern societies all over the world is a flagrant
violation of the Fourth Commandment, which clearly prescribes "Honor thy father and
thy mother." |
