Taking Care of Elderly in Today's Society
Good morning everyone present. I am going to expatiate on Taking
care of Elderly in today's society '. 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.
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! 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!
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!
