The need for old age

Have you ever thought about how life will be when you grow old? Or noticed just how badly the elderly are treated these days? Today’s generation may have no time for their elders but they forget that there will come a time, when they too will be old.

While our country has orphanages, there are very few old age homes. We never seem to consider how old people will survive when they are rejected by their own family. It is time society paid attention to these people who have given so much and received so little in return. The least we can do for them is give them their own space and some dignity. The Government would therefore do well to provide for well-administered old age homes for such people.
