“When I was your age, sometimes me and my friends used to
park our car outside the girls hostel, and whistle to every girl who passed by.. We
were a bunch of screwed up kids in those days..”, an 86 year old man.
Have you ever looked at an old person and wondered how their
lives were when they were young..?? Well I do, every time an old person passes
by.
Old people, they are the most beautiful creatures of this
world. So peaceful, so calm. Maybe the story is different from the other side.
But, looking at them makes you wonder how their lives would have been. Their
experiences, their adventures, their tragedies, their happy moments, etc. We’re
so busy with our lives that we just don’t even bother to look at them while
they pass by. Well, they were the same at our age; they also did the same
things that we do now.
The elders of our society are full of surprises. Don’t think
of them less as they are old. Take some time of your busy life, sit with them and
ask them about their lives. Who knows, you might get amazed. After all, they lived a long life, so, they definitely
have a lot of stories to share. It might be crazy, might be awesome. Might even
be weird, or sometimes, sad. Sit with
them, listen to their stories, and share your stories as well. For those of you
who don’t know, they can be the best listeners, the best advisers, the best
teachers, and the best of friends.
..
Getting old is in inevitable. Everyone will reach that stage
at some point. So, do crazy stuffs while you’re young. Create some memories, some stories, as, You
Only Live Once.
Hope when I reach that stage, I too have some amazing
stories to share with the next generation…
