"Spend some time with elders, not everything is found on Google"
-Unknown writer
Elders which we used to say senior citizens play a very important role in our life. They become aged with time and they gain experience with time. And we know how much value the experience is. In their entire life, they made many mistakes and they learned from it. Whenever they share their experience with us they share what kind of mistakes they have done and how they overcome it. At the same time, they share information about what would be a better step not to make mistakes. So spending some time with elders is good and beneficial for us.
The oldest person in my life is my grandmother ( father's mother). She is still alive and she already made a century in case of age. Considering her age she is still healthy and can move on her own strength but she uses a chair for support. Still, now he can speak with us very well and understand almost everything. To be honest my childhood memories with her were not so good and I think she didn't like me in that time. I also used to keep my distance from my grandmother and several times I felt angry because of her actions. But I never behave badly with her and still, I think I have done the right thing. I think her mentality changed when I moved to the city for my education purpose and I was in class 7 as well as I can remember.
Whenever I visit my home I tried to give time to my grandmother. I used to give time to senior citizens also and I don't know why everyone became very close to me and all of them shared their experiences with me like I am their friend. For some kind of reason, everyone feels very comfortable with me and I try my best to give them respect. As time went my grandmother became friendly with me. She used to share many childhood incidents of my father and uncles.
After a certain time, I tried to see the world through her eyes meaning her opinion. I figured out that the air of the city seems like poison to her (not the true poison). It's because she can't stay far from the village environment.
She doesn't like others using smartphones. It's because she thinks people are wasting time using a smartphone. I don't disagree with it but I can't agree with this fully because many people are using smartphones in the best way which brings benefits also. Another reason she doesn't like it is that smartphones created distance between humans. But I think it's a valid reason although the use of smartphones depends on us.
She never wanted to lose to anyone specially from the junior people. Doesn't matter if she was on the right or wrong side. For her, losing from junior people is one kind of humiliation and somehow she used to dominate others also and keep them silent.
She believes that every human should wake up early and start doing daily tasks in the early morning.
She believes that a joint family is better than a single family. It's because she thinks that the enjoyment and happiness in a joint family can't be found in a single family. I really appreciate this kind of thought but for various reasons, we need to separate and we started living in town.
I realized one thing that aged people love to talk with others and spend time with them. They became very happy whenever someone ask about them and their past incidents. I think they need one good listener who can listen to what they want to say.
