Growing Old

I don't know if I will get old or not . I hope that I wont grow old and may God take me away when I cannot work anymore to support myself.

To think of going to live with someone and to depend on them totally be it my daughter or son is not my kind of life. It is a great burden to the young to support the old.

Like the Eskimo people , the old will wander into the wild to die or to be eaten by those polar bears. This maybe a radical thought and when the time comes, I wonder if I am able to do it.


The young do not understand the old .The feelings are not the same. A father may sacrifice everything for his children but a son may only think his father is a burden to him.He is too young to understand until he becomes a father and grows older and wiser.


What the father did was a responsibility and it is the responsibility of the father to bring him up.It is like you get an allowance from the government and you don't feel any personal relationship with the government.


You don't feel for your parent’s sacrifice and love who brought u into this world but you only know what you wanted and treated them just like a cash dispensing machine.

When the father is old and unable to work, he would grudgingly take him in but treat the father in a shoddy way and expects the father to blend in with their lifestyle.

The father comes from another world .They are in their twilight world and asking them to change to their lifestyle is wrong.We should allow them to live their way as they have been doing.

We think this is progress and they should change their outlooks to reflect our lifestyles.Some people may feel ashamed of their fathers background or lack of education or country peasant looks.

If without your father/mother, you would not be what you are today. Just love them and allow them to live the life they are so used to…..
