Life, from a mental point of vew

I was about to sleep last night when suddenly the thought of people getting out came into my mine. I guess it's because of my dad's relentless help in cleaning up the house in preparation for my sis's wedding this morning.

I was thinking about us, being young and energetic, looking at those elderly and felt a sense of remorse. Remorse because all people can see are their current state of dependency, current state of helplessness and current state of disconnection from the world. People tends to forget how much achievement these elderly already had, by simply just living to a ripe old 70-80 plus age; they too will forget their lives achievements.

Those who didn't forget, will be spontaneous to turn any topics with them to become a desperate attempt to share their life's knowledge and achievements with others. This is option must understood as a bragging session, which stops short of the young to gain anything out of it, which added to their desperation.

Nature has its way in every stage of a human's life, so as to keep us in prospective of the situation we are in.

Diseases and illnesses are ways the nature inflict them with a purpose in mind: to divert longed attention to them. It's the nature's way to give the elder folks the last laugh. Diseases that take their memories away, like dementia, are mechanisms that provide the elderly a mentally painless way to pass on. Outside world's pity, pathetic, and all things nasty, will not register a thing on their mind.

To the compassionates, they will think how sad it is for the elderly to loose their sanity.

But to them, it is the nature's way to keep them sane.
