Old age - Something no human can protest against... We never know when it hits us, and once it does, there's no rescue. It comes to us with no warning and we are destined to be its slave for the rest of our life.. To some, it comes so early and the worst part is that, you wouldnt realise you are getting old until its too late and once you realise, it would be just too impossible to do something! In the long run to earn money, to make your family happy and safe, you spend half or more of your life to work. Work rules your life and you run behind money. You may not even have time to look upon what you lose, coz all you want is money.
Once you earn enough and more, and when you turn back, down the memory line, all you could find is just work, money and nothing else! You would have missed everything and unlike your peers, you would have become too weak and too old to get things right. You start cribbing and whining about the unfortunate life you had. Your rusted memory would have nothing to cherish about in this old age. And above all, the family you cared for, for whom you lived and sacrificed the best part of your life, would be cursing you for giving them no time when they wanted you. They throw you at some god forsaken oldage home probably,as the punishment for not being a good father/mother, for not having enough time for them, for not taking care of them - for all that you did to them, you deserve to be deserted!
And someday, when you go for a walk along the beach side, you manage to find a seat facing th deep blue sky and the roaring waves, refreshing your memory and ending up with those office files and conference halls and nothing to cheer about..YOu ask yourself, "What have i earned?" You would badly wish, you could turn back time, gain all that you missed and have a normal life like everyone else did... And land up in a long suspire as you know nothing can be done other than living what's left with your life, following all the rules and regulations the oldage home had imposed on you....
You say to yourself, "If money was not a necessity, but just a necessity......"

The world is also sharing by some peoples who are giving their whole strength, to give some food, education , clothes, shelter etc.... to their children and in their busy schedules of, working on the streets, fields and in the sound of big machines for earning money Old age will become very near to them.... even the oldage home will be far from those innocents.... :)
