THE PLIGHT OF BEING OLD

 Every human body or a living thing has a circle of life. In humans basically there are 4 stages. Childhood,Adulthood,Matured and Old aged. We came to this world with a helpless body,gradually it starts talking,walking,schooling,working and after at last our old age comes when a person has to  pass the time till the last breath.

An old age is not the same for all. There are very few people in the world who enjoys their old age rest of the old people silently waits for their last destination. In fact they are waiting for the end of their "Plights'.

People used to work in their entire life to fulfil their needs and more for their families. Everyone likes to give better education and all the useful things like food,clothes and other essential things to their children. For that,they give their 100 % efforts without thinking about themselves, their age and the outcome as well. 

A father,used to work like a 'bull' so that his children have a bright future. Likewise, a mother always awake till late night just for the good rest and sleep of the children. 

A father,doesn't buy good clothes or shoes for himself for years but always try to provide the same to his children as when they wish or want. Likewise, a mother always sacrifices her wish of new saree or suit just for the children.

A father, ignores the costly things for him but always try to buy the very best for his children. Likewise, a mother even spends her savings for the demands of the children. 

A father,ignores the outing or parties with his friends but gives money to the children for enjoy. Likewise, a mother always cook food and desserts for the friends and parties of their children. 

A father,doesn't tell you how much he love you and care for you but his deeds do. Likewise a mother may be angry sometimes but internally she loves her children as the most precious thing of the world.

A father has a very small world, from home to work and from work to home. Likewise kitchen and children is the whole world for mother.

Besides, all this love ,affection and sacrifices what results do they get???

Only a miserable,painful,helpless,homeless,moneyless,unhealthy,pathetic life from those to whom they lived for even sacrificed for.

So many old people can be seen in the long queues of hospitals and dispensaries. 

Their wrinkled faces and watered eyes are still waiting to see their grandchildren.

They kept waiting to get the help and support from government as well. 

Still facing lots of contingencies to get a simple amount of old age pension.

Inspite of having poor physical and mental health conditions, lots of old people can be seen selling fruits and vegetables, carrying and pushing carts,loading and unloading goods and much more that can make you sad and agonising.

This agony can't be compared if we have lively heart..

In My humble opinion, i must say that this condition has to be faced by each and everyone of us.  So let's try to think and do something best for the old aged people. Whatever help ,support or assistance, that we can provide for them. Start from your home,family clan,neighbour,in your locality,towns and so on. Your time and care is more valuable for them.

As you sow,so you reep, today you help someone in need specifically old people, tomorrow someone will help you too.

Hoping this blogg and your cognigence will do something really good for these neglected people.

Thanks 

Have a nice day
