Touching the father’s feet signifies both respect and authority for him by the devoted son. This show of respect and authority has been embedded to the son, he stopped touching his father’s feet but he carried with him the authority and respect he felt for his father even after becoming a doctor. The devoted son continuously showed his father the respect and authority and this somehow has taken a toll on their relationship especially when the father was succumb to sickness. He showed his respect and authority to his father by ensuring that he lived as long as the son can provide by giving the father the necessary medications. This displeased the father because he felt the other way around.

How to be positive, confident and care less about the world?​
MakcuM [25]
Try to look at the brighter side. if you’re in a situation (for example) where you are waiting for test results, don’t think about the bad possibilities that could happen but more of what good could happen. try to keep an open mind and but don’t ignore the truth.

stop looking back at your past!! you can’t do anything about it and you never will! it’s in the past for a reason. all you can do is keep living in the present and live your life.

it’s gonna take some time to care less about the world but eventually you’ll get there. you just have to understand how special you are and how most things that you are insecure or worried about don’t matter. you also have to let go of letting everything be perfect and your job IS NOT to please everyone except yourself. and try to find yourself and who you really are :)

To be grammatically correct, should I say “him and me” or “he and me”. Those are my only options.

Hello There

Answer: Him and me

Reason: A preposition should<span> always be followed by an objective pronoun (</span>him<span>, her, me, and us) instead of a subjective pronoun (</span>he<span>, </span>she<span>, I, and </span>we<span>).

I hope this helps
