Look after senior citizens with sympathy on their sunset days

September 12

Everybody has to struggle for their survival during the days from the life of a baby to the days of the senior citizen. Those senior citizens have the accumulated experiences in many fields of society. It is because those older persons have passed through many challenges in various areas for more than 65 years.

They have passed a lot of events and taken lessons from them to be applied in their lives. They have experiences on the way of mundane world in which gain and loss, fame and dishonour, praise and blame, happiness and suffering are the facts of life. They have understood the deception of the mundane world and they have known things how to respond to the deception and how to overcome the challenges triggered by the ways of the mundane world. As such, those older ones are invaluable persons in society.

New generations have lesser experiences to penetrate the exceptionable world. Hence, they need to seek the best ways and means how to overcome the barriers of deception from the senior citizens and then should do things they wish.

Many global countries are facing shortages of new generation population due to their strict population policies. In consequence, these countries face a growing number of senior citizens. Most of them do not have families for many reasons. As such, the country authorities are looking after those persons in their respective homes by spending a lot of money on the work process for them.

In fact, the aged are not a burden for society. They are indeed unable to physically build the nation but they have invaluable experiences which can be applied in nation-building endeavours. If they are healthy, they will be ready to share their experience with and give invaluable advice to new generations. In fact, the senior citizen’s experiences are the treasury of the society.

Only when the good fortune supports the persons will they be lucky to have the chance for living along with the full of lifespan. But most of the people lose their lives for many reasons before the life of the aged. Necessary aid should be given to those older persons. Friendship relations and warmly care should be created for them. Significantly, all need to look after the older persons with sympathy for their sunset days. GNLM
