oldie

He used to be a strong and a wise man. How could I forget how he used to be back in the old days? People just change. Everything change. Your age is increasing. Just no matter how you try to ignore it, its an inevitable thing. I just realized when we are busy growing up, we don't realize some people are getting old. Your grandparents are getting old, your parents are getting old. To think how much I have contributed to them, well I will say its a tough question because honestly I have done nothing. Don't ask what the country has done for you, ask yourself what you have done for your country. This very wise words could be the anology between us and old people. Taking care of old people are challenging I will say. It takes patience, endurance and definitely time when dealing with them. We tend to lose patience when dealing with them. They are cranky, picky and sensitive but that just how they are. We as youths should understand and help them as much as we could. In the end, they are just too old, too tired to deal with us. They used to hear, listen, maybe try to understand us when we were very young. They have loved us unconditionally albeit we are two different generations. That just don't stop them from loving us. It's just not fair if its a commensalism interaction, it's supposed to be mutualism because we are dependant on each other. Without old people who used to be young, there'll be no youths. Be grateful of what you have, give more expect less. Learn the life values because those values are much more prominent that individualistic values that you learn in school. I didn't say individualistic values are bad but everything that we consume too much will be bad for us in a long run. I'm lucky, very lucky to see bigger layer of this life. I might be too young but as they say age is just a number. Sometimes all you need is someone to listen to you even just for the stupidest and the lousiest thing. I have one. A very kind and a gentleman. I think he's tired of me now but he just doesn't say it. He replied just for the sake of replied. Sigh. Maybe I should just stop budging him. Just maybe.
