i found this article in indopost media, submitted by Erwin & Fionna... and repost this article just to share with all emotioners..
When i am old, i am no longer my old self.
Please understand me, be patient with me.
When i spill soup on my clothes, when i no longer remember how to tie my shoelace.
Just remember, when i showed you how, guided you to do it.
When i keep repeating myself, please be patient and listen to me, don't interrupt.
In your childhood i had to tell you again and again, the same story i told you thousands of times until you lulled to sleep.
When i need you to bathe me,
Please don't blame me. Do you remember when you were a child? With all kinds of ways i persuaded you to take a bath.
When i am confused being immersed in new gadgets and modern technology,
Don't laugh at me. Please think how i patiently answered your "whys". You always came up with then.
When both of my legs are to weak to walk,
Lend me your young and strong hand to uphold me,
Just like when you were young, i helped you learn to walk.
When i forget the topic of our conversation,
Give me a little time to remember. In fact, the topic of discussion is of no importance to me. As long as you are beside me to listen to me -- this makes me happy.
When you see me getting old,
Please don't be sad,
Please understand me, support me, like i did to you
When you started to learn about life.

Percaya atau tidak, orang sering kali berlaku kasar kepada orang tua, entah itu orang tua mereka sendiri yang sudah tua, ataupun kakek nenek mereka. Mereka tidak lagi dianggap keluarga ketika dalam hidup mereka telah ada keluarga yang baru. Pada akhirnya orang tua itu dibiarkan sendiri, tua dan rentan dan seakan segala pengorbanan mereka terlupakan dan tidak berarti apa2. Ketika mereka sakit, anak2 mereka berteriak pada mereka, berlaku kasar..
Membaca artikel diatas, g termenung dan memikirkan semua itu. G pernah mendengar hal2 itu berkali2 terjadi di lingkungan sekitar (maklum, dulu waktu kecil suka denger mama g gosip ma tetangga sebelah... haha
).
Bener2 ironis. Sewaktu kecil kita tergantung pada mereka, menuntut apabila tidak memperoleh apa yang kita inginkan, dan tidak memghargai apabila hal yang kita inginkan terenuhi. Ketika mereka tua dan sakit2an, kita* membentak mereka karena mereka tuli, manja, dan tak berdaya. Kita menolak untuk membantu mereka.
Semoga hal ini tidak terjadi pada kita para emotioners..
PS: * kita disini buka kita para emotioners(moga2 aja enggak yach..) tapi ditujukan kepada para manusia yang melakukannya.
