Ponder...

At this point of life, what have you accomplished?
and at the age of 30,40,50,60,70... what will be the thought that will haunt your mind day in and day out? most of the time, when i lay my eyes on the elders, i ponder...

if i were them, what will i be thinking right now? looking at the younger generations after mine, will i laugh at their annoyance of true happiness? because, i am sure, as we aged, it will become clear for many if not most of us, of what is important. what is the main point of going through our lives. what is to gain and to lose... acceptance to failures and stand up with strengthen willpower. as we aged, and as our youth starting to whish away, should we be sad? are they sad? are they afraid of dying? or will they just get on with their life happily and welcoming the soon to come death with open arms? i doubt they will be afraid of dying, but i am sure what they afraid of, is not death itself. it is the consequences of death- departing with their beloved sons and daughters, and for some, this material world. some, worried if upon their death, they will no longer be remembered. it is ever so vital that our existence or "pre-existence" is remembered, because it is human nature. we want to feel loved and needed. If i were in the position of the elderly, yes, i will be afraid of dying, but it's because i just can't leave all the wonderful people, places and memories behind. may i take all the memories with me?

50 or 60 years from now, where will i be?
