Do you want to grow old?

Of course, any Tom Dick and Harry will answer in the affirmative since growing old is one sign of grace and evidence of passing through life with some experiences to show for it. But then have you come to think about the fact that the aged ones amongst us were once kids and infant that sits on some parent’s laps? Yes, someone took good care of them to become the aged adults we see today. And now that they are old, taking good care of them still never stops.

Taking good care of our elders most importantly the aged ones is one thing that is almost becoming old-fashioned in our present world where money seems to get things done with ease. As much as finance is needed to give these senior citizens the best of care, having you (the child or caregiver) around could give them dimples of joy. Most parents don’t even care that much if you send them money or not, but an excitement is stirred in them when they are assured of you paying them a visit.

Aged adults often lose strength following the aging phase of their lives, and this point in their lives often calls for support. While aging tells on their physical strength it shows also in their ability to recollect and bring back past experiences. This one good reason to say, shouting on them might be the wrong thing to do when they fail to get the idea you are communicating to them. At this point in their life, they only need to feel loved and be able as well to comprehend your compassionate feeling towards them.

Having our aged folks and parents in mind should be as sure as knowing what next to eat. When taking care of them has been engraved in the heart, then it becomes a case of one good turn that plays back to you in the days to come. This been said, when you give attention to your old folk's financial and emotional needs, it helps in a way to reduce their aging process. Although this is not proved but I know it works even as regular laughter and excitement work wonder for the soul.

Taking good care of your aged parent, folks and adult is not something farfetched, it could be as simple as;

1. Giving them a surprise birthday party
2. Reproducing an old memory for them (reprinting pictures, showing them collections of old things they did in the past).
3. Helping them achieve a younger age ambition
4. Being around to play and laugh with them
5. Giving them gifts
6. And the list continues

This list is inexhaustive and can further be lengthened depending on your creativity with fun. But then it is an onus on every young person to see to the care of an aged person, a priority and not what you feel you should do. No one ever wants to be caught in the negative law of Karma.
