Growing old

Letter December 12, 2019
Getting older not only means getting wiser, it also means getting weaker

RAWALPINDI: Getting older not only means getting wiser, it also means getting weaker. Human beings are, at the end of the day, feeble and mortal. In the midst of the busy life, I want to remind people that life without leisure is nothing but labour. Let us find some time for our parents, who are also growing older day by day.

And let us find a few moments in our busy weeks, just to say one word of kindness to other people in our surroundings. It is these small memorable moments that make up life. After all, what is life but a fragmented memory.
