Being old and getting older are entirely two different sides of the same coin. Life ! If we are 22 years and advance to 23 years, we are getting older…but , at the same time, being 70 years old and going on to seventy-one, we are still getting older even though people may say that we are already old! So what? Big deal! Old age should be worn like a crown…we are the kings and queens of experiences. Our wealth lies in our knowledge of life ..of all it had to offer…. poverty, riches, sickness health, and even its joys and sorrows! Some people never had the opportunity to fully enjoy all the fruits of life due to the unexpected arrival of the grim reaper, thus being denied of that ! Their lighted candles were suddenly extinguished by the howling winds. It’s a joy being called Gramps or Grandpas, a feeling of love and being loved! That makes you the richest persons on earthy, what a wonderful life this is! When we are on the streets, robbers seek out us as the first of their victims because .to them, we are weak and fragile,,,sometimes, our own family mistreat and abuse us just because of our age. To some people, we appear senile. Devoid of intelligence or knowledge, but don’t worry, we hope they live long enough to experience the feelings we experienced when we were being mistreated! At that old age, please stop making excuses for not wanting to leave our earthly bodies when it’s time ,,we say that our work here is not done,,,,we still have to fix the house,,we still have to get money for our children.. we haven’t been to that country as yet,,,,excuses,,excuses! At that time, let our thoughts move forwards, there are some beautiful people anxiously awaiting our arrivals, we must not disappoint them. Let them wait no longer than necessary.

As we advance from 22 to 23 years old and from 70 to 71 years old, we are getting older, regardless of societal labels. Old age should be celebrated as a crown, symbolizing our wealth of experience and knowledge accumulated from life’s diverse experiences, encompassing poverty, wealth, illness, health, joys, and sorrows. Unfortunately, some individuals are denied the opportunity to fully experience life due to premature death, while others are fortunate enough to be called Gramps or Grandpa, basking in the love and affection of their families. Regrettably, elderly individuals are often targeted by robbers and mistreated by their own family members due to age-related misconceptions. Some people view us as senile, lacking intelligence or knowledge. However, we hope they live long enough to experience the emotions we felt when mistreated. As we approach the end of our lives, let us not make excuses for not being ready to depart, citing unfinished tasks or unfulfilled desires. Instead, let us focus on the beautiful people awaiting our arrival and not disappoint them. What will my Mary say if I don’t go?
