SPEAK UP!

As much as i dislike seeing kids or women being abused, babies being killed because of stupid humans who don't take responsibility for their wrong doings and immature thinking, and also how the world is turning into something monsterious that God didn't create it to be, i too have to say that i dislike seeing senior citizens out there in the world doing labour jobs and also having to help clean offices or clean toilets and stuff.

That very first day, when i was working, i came across this poh poh, who comes every Monday to the office just to clean the toilets, vacuums the carpetted floor, throws rubbish and also wipes the table and glasses. How i dislike seeing senior citizens doing jobs like these. I know you do too. Aren't they suppose to be taken care of by their own children? They should be doing things like taking care of their grandchildren or resting or socializing with other senior citizens, not labour jobs. People just don't get it nowadays do they? Not to mention, early the next morning, I met the poh poh twice in the morning. I was eating breakfast in the morning with my mom in state and i saw her walking by. As she sat down with another poh poh, talking and all, i was a little happy watching them both. Yes, that is what they should be doing i told myself. Mom and I smiled and greeted them both as we walked to our car. I don't think she remembers me tho but that's okay. :)

Later that morning, i left with Aunty Winnie to the office and came upon the same poh poh again. This time, i saw her sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus. I thought to myself, does she do that everyday? Does she go to other places to do it too? Where are her children? How come she is doing this? If she wants to do it, why doesn't her children stop her or even bother to drive her to the office or something? What humans are turning into nowadays? MONSTERS! How sad it is to see things like this. Really upsetting.

What do i plan to do about this when i grow up?

I really admire how South Korean treats Senior Citizens by building a place for them, just them. And i plan to do the same. I plan to build a place for senior citizens to enjoy. To be taken of. To be able to socialize and not do labour work and also to learn more about God. A peaceful place to dance, exercise, sing praises to God and just RELAX. :) I encourage you, and whoever who is reading this, please treat senior citizens well. For every little thing you do, you are doing it for God, the senior citizens and yourself. Put action to it and not just agree with what i'm saying. You can start by helping the senior citizens in church. You can easily help by getting them food after services, ask what do they want to eat or drink, help guide them to a place to sit or to their friends, help them to the car or anything else you can help with. You can also help the senior citizens home too. I think it's a very nice and warm thing to do to show our appreciation and how much we care about them. You can also start by taking care of your grandparents. Start small, don't rush. :) A little help goes a long way and i very much appreciate what you people are doing. Thank you all for reading, God bless. :)
