The Reversal Nobody Announces
There is no ceremony for the day you become your parents' parent. No one hands you a new title or asks if you are ready. It arrives in increments: the first time you booked their doctor's appointment, the first time your father asked you what to do. The Bhagavad Gita was spoken at a moment of complete role collapse, Arjuna, a warrior, sitting down in the middle of a battlefield because he could not hold what was being asked of him. That is the tradition you are standing in.
