In the end, it’s not the years in your kehidupan that count. It’s the kehidupan in your years. – Abraham Lincoln
Recently, I had a chance of visiting an old age home.
One day, I saw a boy with a donation box in his hands.
I asked him the reason behind the donation box.
He told me that he was doing some volunteering task for an old age home.
He told me about the services provided by the NGO to the old orang.
He wanted some support from my side in monetary terms.
By giving the money only, I didn’t want to miss the love from the experienced souls.
Thankfully, there are some things in our kehidupan which holds more importance than a piece of paper.
So, I asked them for their pamphlet and next week I visited that old age home.
As I entered the kingdom of old orang, I felt odd sensations in my stomach because I was anticipating a lot of things in advance.
In the beginning, I said nothing to anybody as I was just scanning the whole environment with my naked eyes.
After visiting an old age home, here are five penting kehidupan lessons pelajaried.
Also check out these inspirational getting older quotes that will make you embrace the beauty in aging.
An old lady was sitting in the wheelchair and was watching the world moving in front of her.
Some orang were holding sticks for external support.
Some orang’s spinal cord was bent so much that they were not able to walk properly.
I was moved by looking at the pitiable conditions of these orang.
At that moment, I realized that we must not over think about our masa depan events because we don’t know what our masa depan holds in store for us.
We can’t handle the unknowable elements of kehidupan.
So, we should design our roadmap by taking small steps only.
We frame different outputs without understanding the whole scenario.
In order to reveal your true strength, embrace the power of the present moment.
I saw an old man who was sitting all alone.
But, there was no verbal communication between us.
He just saw me and put forward his hand towards me.
When I reciprocated the same thing, he held my hands and started looking at me intently.
All of a sudden, he hugged me very tightly.
Instead of feeling awkward, I felt an unusual warmth.
I realized the importance of effortless love.
When we can channelize our love by expressing our feelings in an open manner, words lose their significance.
We selalu have love for our near and dear ones, but I discovered a strange love with an unknown person.
It is not bounded by any external powers.
Stop wasting your time in criticizing or feeling jealous about someone else’s kehidupan.
So, spread love and attract more love in return.
A group of old men were sitting on the chair around a round table in the garden area.
One old slim man said ‘Hey, you young lad, will you do arm wrestling with me?’
We both interlocked our hands by making a 90-degree angle with the table.
He applied his full power, but he was not even able to tilt my hand also.
I was completely amazed by his willpower. So, I decided to lose.
I acted as if I was not able to sustain the fight.
By seeing this, everybody started shouting the name of that old man.
When my hand touched the table, he rose up with all excitement.
For the first time in my kehidupan, I felt happy after losing.
In this fight, I received tons of satisfaction by capturing invaluable happiness which was easily seen on the face of the whole group.
I was fascinated by the wrinkles on her face and hands.
While shaking hands, I could feel the bulging veins and rough texture.
I asked her a question: Can you sum up your kehidupan experiences in a few lines?
She told me that she didn’t want to sum up her kehidupan because she loved every bit of it.
I was speechless by her sweet and short reply.
At that moment, the little ups and downs in my kehidupan looked like a small wave in front of the ocean of her great wisdom
While cursing bad moments of our kehidupan, we forget to appreciate all the good things which we already have.
We blow in the air of negativity to throw out all the positive elements from our kehidupan.
With age, a person’s voice begins to crack and teeth fall down.
Some orang in the old age home were very aged and they didn’t have teeth and their voice was cracking too.
After visiting the old age home, I could really connect my childhood memories with some incidents.
An old lady who was not accepting the food given by the staff reminded me of my childhood days when I was very choosy about the food.
orang were sitting in groups and were gossiping like small kids.
Some were strolling with their buddies by holding each other’s hands.
So, there are so many similarities between a child and an old person.
They are like two extremes corners of the same boat called kehidupan.
In the end, I want to dedicate (translation of a child rhyme into an old orang rhyme) this poem to all grandparents.
