Importance of Elderly People In Our Life
By Shivani
The elderly people 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 cannot 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.
It is very unfortunate that in some families, the elderly are not given due respect and treated badly. They are discarded by their own children for petty things in life. Such lonely elderly people have to take shelter in old age homes. We must not forget that homes cease to be sweet homes without the elderly.
The elderly people have all the valuable experience and wisdom with them. We must use it to make our life better. Besides, the kind of unconditional love we get from them, no other person or being can give us that type of love. We must hold on to the elderly people in our families and stay in the light of their love and wisdom. We need the elderly and the elderly need us!
The elders have a lot of experiance and wisdom.When we talķ to them then we can learn a lot about life.When they were going there cares for us and loved us.They had feeded us and taught us how to walk.
Now it's our time to payyback.Now it's our turn to love and care for them.Now it's our turn to help them in walking.
This is the life cycle,when a child is born,The parents take care of the child but when the parents grow old,then the children take care of their old parents.It is a natural duty assigned to us by god.
But these days the people are running away from their duties.When the parents grow old and become weak,people send them to oldage homes.This is a wrong phenomenon.We should be aware of our our responsibilities.
