People say that as we age, we lose the energy and enthusiasm to live our lives the way we used to live during the remaining ages – childhood, young age and middle-age.
In western countries, young children staying with old parents is not heard of. However, in India, we still respect the elderly generation and as youngsters, we are expected to look up to them and take care of their needs during their old age.
We might have heard many old people saying that they want to leave the world soon as they no longer find the current pandemic and the modern times appealing to their ideologies.
But is old age really the end of life? If you say, your physical body will surely leave the planet once you stop breathing but your soul always remains on the Earth to take a new form.
Old age shouldn’t be considered as a burden but a phase where one can look after all the achievements and happiness that one has experienced in their entire life.
In actual sense, old age is not the end but the beginning of journey after death. It’s how one looks at it.
