Visit to old
age home
What was the place all about?
The place that is old age home was a missionary charity and when we
entered there the first thing we recognised was the place was well cleaned and
sanitized. The people
working there were taking great care of the old age people. There not only the
old age people but rather people of all ages.
When we entered they all were sitting and were waiting for us. They all
sang a welcome song for us. We felt appreciated by there kind gestures, however
our heart shattered seeing there horrid conditions. People were depressed but
smiled and felt happy when they saw us.They tried to find happiness in very
small things. The people there were beautiful, sweet souls who were left behind
by there families. They all were mentally challenged and were found on streets.
We all sang songs and danced with them we also interacted with them some where
sitting at the back and were crying for the families. Some danced with us too
and some of them sang solo songs for us.
These incidents should draw our attention to our own lives. We don't
appreciate the gifts we have, we don't appreciate our privileges, we simply
ignore the greatness of life and look at the shortcomings. The people there
felt overjoyed seeing us, which shows that even though they are in a miserable
condition, they still cherish the little moments that bring joy to the heart.
Instead of going to hotels, fancy restaurant and malls, celebrate your birthday
by visiting an old age home, a charity or other places of that kind.
