Q1 of 7 Page 90

Ageing is a natural process; have you ever thought what our elderly parents expect from us?

People evolve with age and experience. The building blocks of today fetch us the complete parts of tomorrow. Age bequeaths one with knowledge and experience. Our elderly parents want us to flow with time. They want us to live with time and to flow with it. With modern innovations, the young generation is gradually skipping their normal, usual childhood and entering into the realms of adulthood with insufficient backup to live that age. Thus, they feel out of time and place. Again, with age, one grows forgetful and develops weird habits. As Shakespeare rightly calls the old age as second childishness”, he also sees the need to take intensive care of these people and to empathize with their changing moods. Our elderly parents expect from us the patience that is essential for this natural phenomenon and a certain amount of respect for this involuntary and inevitable change at all.
