The Elderly

"I can't help my self, every old person in the street has my number. If it's not a morning paper, bread or milk im delivering it's usually a little job needing done in their house. I'm always having joke with them and just a wee bit time of day costs nothing." Anonymous




The last week has opened my eyes even bigger than they have ever been before. One wonders sometimes where compassion comes from and how come some people have much more of it than others. I wonder that every day now. In addition, the phrase "respect your elders" are words that I honestly believe are slowly evaporating from society today. We can thank our elders, for they are the ones that brought us into this life, have given us the opportunities we have today and without them, we would have nothing. 




"To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life flowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future." -  Bertrand Russell
