Question

Give speech on the need for honouring parents with reference to the drama dear departed

Answer 1

The elderly are our roots that support us at the base underground; though they are hidden underground, our existence without them is impossible. As there can be no present without the past, similarly, the young can not have their being without the elderly. We forget to comprehend the power of the old that is keeping the world stable. Our very  life will come to a standstill without the elderly. 'Old is gold' aptly describes the importance of old people in our life. Have you ever been hurt? Have you ever undergone the agonizing pains of heartbreak? Have you ever fallen ill? Have you ever felt any dilemma in your life? Have you ever felt lonely and forlorn? If yes, you must be remembering vividly who stands by you through the vicissitudes of dark and hard time! Of course, the so-called old people in the form of our parents, grandparents! Our parents and grandparents shine in our dark world like rays of light. Great authors, leaders, scientists, doctors, etc often do breakthrough in their respective fields in their old age usually, which is no less than a light shining in the dark. If living  more number of years is old age, then the sun, the stars, the rivers, the oceans, the mountains must be termed old also. If they are old, who is making our world go? The truth is old people are the most indispensable part of our life. They are the light of this otherwise dark world. We must respect them and love them for their invaluable light of love and wisdom in our life! We must not look upon them for any financial gain. We must not wait for them to die to grab our share of their property bequeathed to us. We must pray for their long and healthy life. Remember, they are our roots, without them we will wither. So nurture the elderly with the water of love and care.
