The Cradle to the Grave - A sure path for us all..

Just as a flower blooms and slowly withers away, all of us who are born into this world are compelled to traverse through the same phases in life. Nevertheless, most of us who are able bodied tend to forget the realities of old age oblivious to the fact that all of us one day will befall the same fate.

I guess the grumbling and childlike behaviour of old people tend to make our patience run on a very small tether?? Nevertheless I think that all of us should stop to ponder on what the elderly are really going through. But trust me sometimes its mind boggling for us to comprehend what they are really going through…coz to us it sometimes seems as though they are pretending. This is probably because we are in denial or because we haven’t placed ourselves in their shoes.

In my view being dependent on others due to being unable to do things for yourself is probably the most awful thing in life, because being in such a state hits the core of our self-esteem and in most instances sends the person into a state of depression. What do you think??

However, even though it’s hard we all should try our level best to stretch our patience and try hard to be more accommodative, because one day life will dish us out with the same spoon.

I know it is easier said than done…. But all we can do is try….

What do you think about this??
Have you had any real life experience having to cope with an aged person??? What’s it like??
