*Every time , I saw an old man or women walking on the street , I become aware that one day, I will be like them . Struggling to walk or cross the streets or seeking help. It is unavoidable and imminent that everyone of us have to pass the stage.
When I was younger, there is no problem as I have the health and strength to pass the day smoothly and without having any problem. But now, although I still don't have these problems yet, I could sense that time is catching up with me. There is a wise thought that as things gets little or smaller, what is remaining or lacking becomes more prominent and more precious. This analogy also applies to everything.
It is not strange that different things become important at different time and in different space.
There is this analogy that when we are 10 years old, we carry with us a 10 years' problem and if we are 20 years old , we carry with us a 20 years problem including memories and this goes on with 30 years or so on. Our mind will be cloaked with all the problems and memories and we will be going through all these memories from time to time until we are phased out.
A 10 years old life span and a 60 years old life span have so much difference in texture and depth . For a 60s man, time becomes more important than money or materials but for a 60s' old man, the priority is health and money slides down the grade of importance. Money becomes a mean of survival instead of enriching him or herself. So , different era have different priorities.
At a young age, we are definite to wake up the next day or no worries of the coming days, weeks or years but for a person of 60s' , every day is a bonus day and we look forward to days and not years . However, to some people age is just a number. Lets be frank and factual , life is limited anyway whichever way you look or believe.
The day will end today and the sun will rise as we age by the day as TIME stops for no one.
Namaste
