(358 words) I take care of parents as an axiom. Mom and Dad raise us, give us everything we can, instill values in us, and teach us to behave in society. How to repay them with black ingratitude? If a person, growing up, forgets about his parents, stops thinking about their needs, does not visit, does not support, does not say warm words, then he is a traitor. I will try to give a few arguments from the literature in defense of my point of view.
The heroine of the telegram by K. G. Paustovsky lives alone in a village house. Old Katerina Petrovna had to see a lot. It is not easy for her to pass the time, especially in the autumn evenings. Outside, rain and cold. The daughter moved to Leningrad. She rarely visits her mother and sends money orders instead of letters. Katerina Petrovna feels weak. She won’t survive another winter. The old woman through friends informs Nastya about this. But a young woman, busy with business, puts off the letter and forgets the request of her mother. Alas, she too late understands her mistake and does not have time to say goodbye to the closest person. You can not call Nastya callous and callous. However, she, not caring for her mother, commits a betrayal. The heroine herself feels this, because she leaves the village stealthily, with shame, as if she had stolen something, and all the residents regarded the absence of Nastya at the funeral as treason. Obviously, all the characters of the book adhere to this opinion.
You can also recall the work of Anatoly Aleksin "Mad Evdokia." The girl Olya, his heroine, was considered a talented artist and an extraordinary person. Her parents devoted her whole life to her upbringing and education, although Nadezhda, the mother of Olya, had a heart defect. The girl grew up proud and arrogant. Once she decided to prove again to everyone around her that she was quicker and smarter than them, and at night she went down a dangerous road. Mom considered Olya dead and lost her mind. What is this if not a betrayal? The child, who did not even think about the feelings of the family, did not appreciate the labor spent on raising, brought his mother to insanity. This terrible selfish act speaks of the treacherous nature of the character of the heroine, who is ready to sacrifice all loved ones in order to satisfy her needs.
Thus, all the above examples prove that the lack of care for the mother and father is tantamount to betrayal. It is no coincidence that so many works are devoted to the theme of parents and children. Reading stories and tales, we are again and again convinced of how important it is to show attention and love to the family in time.
