We don’t know the most important things about life. Otherwise, the world would be a different place.
Many areas of our lives, if not all, reflect people’s inability to build trusting, caring relationships. Sometimes we do not realize that humanity is connected by invisible threads, and we continue to live completely unaware of the laws of existence, the laws of happiness.
The question of how to treat elderly parents who are separated from their children has become very relevant today.
Teachers and scholars have spoken with particular pain about how the discarded elderly feel. It happens that adult children send elderly parents to nursing homes, and then contact between the closest relatives is reduced to a minimum or interrupted altogether (we are talking about those who are quite capable of being at home with little support from relatives).
For all the comfort and care that the elderly receive in these institutions, people die there quickly. Why? Because there is no substitute for kinship. Realizing their irrelevance, the roots of the family – our relatives – quietly, obediently leave, not wanting to impose themselves on the children.
Our inability to consciously give warmth shows that we are not familiar with the law of holistic nature, where everything is interconnected. This principle is the very purpose of life. If we understand him, it will be important for us to build a good bond with everyone in the family, including, of course, the elderly parents.
Thinking about the elderly, our elderly parents, can we justify ourselves with the fact that I have my own family, children and I have no time? The thinking person knows that positive emotions create a physiological advantage in our bodies by stimulating the immune system. Negative emotions create chaos in the nervous system, while positive ones, on the contrary, structure.
Feeling a kind of neglect, anyone feels pain. Realizing this, she is ashamed of her plight, keeps silent, and the strings of love are severed. That is, the universal web of happiness is torn, and the health protection system falls down.
Since childhood, we are friends, we meet with comrades, communication is always important to us – both when we are young and when we are old, when we are healthy and when we are sick and weak from old age.
How can an old person live with shame if the children don’t find time to call, to meet? My neighbor is 92 years old, a widower, lives alone, quite sturdy, was a master of sports in boxing in his youth, goes for walks, manages the house himself, neat. His children are good, they periodically take him to their place, but they live in another city. One day we met, said hello, and Yuri Vladimirovich said he bought cookies for tea in the hope that maybe someone would stop by on Saturday. How much hope he put into wanting to talk to someone!
I think it’s clear to any of us that an elderly person will certainly live longer in care and surrounded by loved ones.
The old man connects everyone with a loving heart by his mere presence. This important fabric of care is invisible to the eye, but is felt by everyone, filling them with positivity, protecting them from evil. This is the secret of happiness – to support each other with the warmth of your intention.
By setting an example of a kind attitude toward the older generation, we program our own old age as well, because children learn not by words, but by example.
Listen to your heart and make the right decisions!
