I WANNA GET OLD REAL FAST
Why
do I wanna be an old man? Do not misquote me, I didn't say I wanna die
real soon.We are living in a world where utility is the means of
survival and the basis of acceptance. You are wanted as long as you are
useful. You are discarded the moment you are practically useless to the
family. If you are not capable of earning, what is the value of your
existence? Well, throw them in old age homes. Oh, that is a better place
than not being loved and cared, wrong mentality everywhere. Do not
define existence value with utility, you can go hell wrong. You are not a
'thing'. You are not a digital camera.
You
are a unique human being with personality and of highest value. You are
a masterpiece of God's creation ( if u believe that God created all ,
if you don't, say something else).
Now,
coming back on tract, why do I say I wanna be an old man? What
motivated me to make such a seemingly stupid statement? Well, today, a
few hours ago, I went to watch a local football tournament. Just before
the match started, I saw a smart looking old man with his winter suit.
He seemed to be happily chewing something. I don't know what he was
chewing, who cares! He walked near the football field, sat down and
watched the match excitedly. I saw vigor and energy in his eyes. I felt
his independent and carefree life. A few young men passed near him and
called him respectfully, '' Hi, grandpa ", he nodded his head and
continued watching the match without looking at them. He seemed happy
and contended. I don't care whether he was really happy inside, but I
just got the positive message I needed to.
Being
old is not easy, you can't walk as fast as you could walk 20 years ago.
You can't dance as beautifully as you did 40 years ago. You can't work
like a young man does. Perhaps, you feel sick every other day. May be
you need medical care every now and then. You get tired so soon. May be
young people misunderstand you. But being old is beautiful.
With
age comes maturity, freedom, respect and what not. Every one gets old,
every one dies one day. Why should one be scared of getting old? I do
not mean young people are less beautiful. You know, you can't describe
how beautiful being young is. Every old person wants to go back to their
youthful days. Why not? But being young, you got to worry a lot. Hey,
you shouldn't but you do. You are worried about your job, your life
partner, your children, your income and many many more. I can't help
myself looking at the picture below and smile non stop. I am planning to
delete my whats App account. Tomorrow never comes.
When
you are ripe old, you don't need to worry about your job, your career,
your life partner or your children. Everyone is settled. You can just
relax watching your favorite games and preparing yourself for a happy
death. Life is not finished yet, you got an everlasting one. Who cares
whether you believe or not, I believe.
