00:00If there is a cultural tradition that prevents the sons and the daughters from maturely conversing
00:07with parents and other elders in the family, then this kind of a culture is doing nobody
00:12any good.
00:13Who is a father and who is a mother?
00:14All that matters is how you are as a human being, how grown up, how wise.
00:19We are not talking of dethroning the parents.
00:24We are not talking of taking away their rights.
00:28We are talking of love as a thing between mature human beings.
00:35You cannot have this if you insist that you want to remain a protected one.
00:41If parents have indeed done a good job of raising you, then by the time you are 20,
00:48you should be able to walk out of the shadows.
00:51You do not need the umbrella anymore.
00:53And that's an ode to the parents.
