An Old Age Friendship

It is as beautiful as it sounds. Ever thought how your old age is going tobe?It is too far a question to be given a thought but let’s ponder once. At one scenario we can imagine ourselves shifting with our son or daughter and live satisfactorily with our grand children and another scenario we can see ourselves moving to the country side with our friends and have a lively social life, and have a occasional meeting with our daughters and grandchildren. Or just live a silent life with occasional social interaction.

.Like it is difficult to digest that we can, somewhere in the future, have a distant relationship with our family. It has been proved though, that it is more difficult to live alone because the children and grandchildren would have their own social life and personal space which will make you think that they are isolating you from themselves meanwhile this would not be the case. They are only busy. But the psychological state we would be in at that point is different and a bit childlike because we would be lonely at that time.

While living with people of our own age, our psychological state has proven to bebetter and thus increase life expectancy, great lifestyle and a healthy heart. This is a verified truth and a result of research conducted by National Institute of Aging.

It is said it becomes difficult to be apart from the family but it is inevitable fact that the family has started and is leading a forward life than yours. At present scenario we can accept that how life is after retirement, if shifting to other cities with our sons and daughter would mean isolation, won’t it make us feel to count upon the left days.

It is. said by Aldous Huxley, “The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm”

If loneliness will bring us to loose our enthusiasm what would it mean, whatever we will be doing in our life would be a waste. Because no one expect to count upon their end days .

Thinking about oldage, we would like to live ten times more happier and lively than we are living in our present days because we are busy in making our oldage life better today and at that point we just can’t keep watching the clock ticking.

For living the lively and happier life, noone else but our friends would understand the spirit of the child residing within us. Whether we are 15 or 50.

Friends from the childhood being together till old age are the blessing in life. As the level of maturity and insanity would be equal and noone will need to watch clock ticking.

Why to talk only about old age life, don’t we need someone today with same insanity of life we are living. Won’t you accept that the friends we have today are there to understand the feelings, the gratitude, the emotional quotient of yours. Now think about your grandparents, how would they feel living in a scenario having no friends and no one to understand but still they smile to make you happy. Despite their loneliness they are going through they will never want to make us upset.

It is not necessary that old age home after retirement is curse but it might happen that we end up living happily.

And rest I hope you realise we can't predict how our future generation are going to be. SO lets not go that far.
