Productive old ageing

It is a common believe that old age people are luggage. In modern India most of the people will deny it but when it comes to their own head they feel the brunt of it. Modern people have become total hypocrite in this regard. They shed tears for other people parents but when it comes to their own parents they think it would be better for them to leave the world. Thus our elders are deficient of respect they ought to get from our side. In order to maintain their dignity and respect, the elderly ones need to be aware of productive old aging.

Today’s world is full of hypocrites. People are themselves not able to perform to the level they expect others to perform. People watch movies in which elderly are ill-treated by their children and feel sorry for them but they themselves commit the same crime when it comes to their own parents. Parents as they have been doing throughout their life, forgive them don’t give too much thought to them partially because of their love towards them and partially because of their need of them. But now is the time for the parents to understand that they ought to fight for the respect they deserve. Hence, comes the importance of productive old aging.

The only hindrance in this concept of productive old ageing is that old people are tired of working all throughout their life and want freedom from the difficulties of day to day life. They aren’t willing to work again. It is this rest factor coupled with the love for their children that old people become tolerant to the disrespect shown to them. The second problem is that there is a very small range of jobs that they can do. Perhaps education is the only line they can work with their real value and dignity.

There is only one solution to all these problems. They have to count on their experience if they aren’t willing to rest why to test their patience. Patience can pay in every field but not in this field simply because when the time will come they won’t be there to reap the fruits of their patience. Though there is only a little range of things they can do but whatever they will do will be the best simply because of the loads of experience they have along with them.

Thus, it’s high time the elderly people should be aware of productive old ageing, which will bring happiness to everyone’s life.
