| | Old age.
A topic which makes me feel pity, regret and isolation. Sadness mostly.
The aged are but the forgotten, in their dingy and dark homes, and when
they meet with an accident, you see them in hospitals, all alone,
curled up and desolate. It grabs at my heart, pulls and refuses to let
go. Is this a fate which must befall us all? is it inevitable? that
people do not want to be with the old and the destitute. Visits at CNY
and other festive occasions are usually met with obligatory greetings
and the giving of ang baos, and thats it! you can't wait to get away
from them, to move on with your own existence.
Loneliness is something which every human does not deserve to have, yet
how is it that old people end up surviving all alone, depressed and on
the verge of suicide? How is it that our society has degenerated to
such a point?
The young, do not forget, you will get there some day too.
