Answers
The World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was launched on June 15, 2006. Today let us all introspect and find out for ourselves - "Are we mindful about our attitude towards our elders."
As we all know old age is a very unhappy and lonely stage of life. At that age the body becomes weak and there are many bodily ailments. At such a time a person needs support both physical and emotional. Neglect and lack of attention from the youngsters and family members makes one feel lonely and lost.
It is said that the needs of old people are very less but they need those things very much. All they need is acceptance. As parents they have nurtured us and done so much for us, in return for all this they just want to be respected.
Are we able to meet their needs. Do we listen to what they have to say. Do we spend some time with them. Let us think on these lines and resolve to do our duty towards our elders in a more responsible way.
