"Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul."
yesterday, i was passing through some market in pindi, i saw a grey haired man,about 65 years old wearing torn clothes which i am sure were not warm enuff to hinder the cold,holding his cycle in his both hands and walking along the road.My car was moving slow coz of the "terrific traffic" and i caught site of the old man.I focused on him and started looking into his eyes....looked again...and again!!
OHHH!!! TEARS! Yes there were tears in his eyes.....my heart sunk right at dat moment...hundereds of thoughts blocked my mind....in the process of finding the reason...y he was weeping.
May be coz his weak shoulders were not able to bear the burden of responsibilites,may be he was thinking of that utter need of one of his family member which he was unable to fullfil,may be he was the only bread earner of his family and on dat day he was unable to earn dat even,may be coz his children left him alone to face the brutalities of life!
Cruel! world as well as life..........
Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.
