Deep in the village, there lives an elderly man who is nearly 100 years old, and although she is faltering, she still insists on living independently, taking care of her own household chores every day. However, what is embarrassing is that she has seven children, but she seems to live on a lonely desert island, and the children's indifference and dislike for her seem to have become a heavy shackle in her later life.
What's even more heart-wrenching is that another elderly man in the village died in just a few days due to an accidental fall. This is the impermanence of life, but his family cheered, as if relieved, this attitude towards life is really shocking.
The old people in the village are afraid of the loneliness and disgust that longevity brings. Those who once thought that they would be able to enjoy family happiness in their old age when they got married and had children now have to face the cruelty of reality. With your children busy with your own lives and your best friends having their own families, who can you rely on when you really need to take care of them?
However, there is no shortage of heartwarming stories in life. My aunt's three children, although they were busy, did not hesitate to put down what they were doing when she was injured and hospitalized, and took turns to take care of them. This kind of family affection where blood is thicker than water makes people see the brilliance of human nature.
In our community, there is also an elderly lady who can see her son by her side every day, whether it is walking or chatting, it is full of warmth and love. This simple and sincere companionship makes people feel the beauty of life.
Life will eventually come to an end, this is an inescapable fact. However, instead of fearing or running away from death, we should learn to accept and face it. The sooner we recognize this, the better we can cherish every moment in our lives and make smarter choices. After all, the true meaning of life is not the pursuit of eternal life, but how to live a wonderful and worthwhile life.
