Flashing Forward

Have you noticed how easy it is to say something, but to actually do it is a much harder task? Speaking your mind is not the challenge, being able to accomplish what you speak is where the challenge lies. The people of our society today are helping to spread awareness. Awareness about what to eat and what not to eat, awareness about turning the light off to save energy, awareness about how important it is for you to get your sleep at night, awareness about all of these little things but not about the important matters. Matters such as respect. Giving respect to your elders. Why don't we give them respect? We do though, no we don't that is just what we think. Think of all that our elderly do for us. They put their whole life into us. From bringing us into this world to paying thousands and thousands for our college tuition. Trying to give us the best life they possibly can. What do we give them in return? A nice place to live, in the best senior citizen home in the city? Is that all we can do? No matter how much you try you can never repay them in any way for all that they have done for you. At least don't give them into the care of others. It may be easy to do right now, but flash forward to the future. Your future, when your children have matured and are ready start their life. Flash forward to the day they are dropping you off in a senior citizen home. Think of how it will just melt your heart seeing your children leave and walking into you new home. Already waiting from that moment on, for the next upcoming weekend when your children will come visit you. As the golden rule states: "Treat others the way you want to be treated". If you do not wish for this to happen to you, don't do it to others. It is so easy to say, "Mama, papa I love you guys so much & I will never leave you guys". Do not say what you can not do...
