HELP OLD

It is high time to wake up and start taking care of our grandparents. In this old age if we do not take care of them, we cannot expect our children to do that for us; after all we are their descendents. We are a part of their flesh and blood.

Old age is the weakest and most vulnerable portion of a person’s life. It consists of ages nearing or surpassing the average life span of human, and thus the end of the human life cycle. Old people include seniors, senior citizens and the elderly. As occurs with almost any definable group of humanity, some people will hold a prejudice against others — in this case, against old people. This is one form of ageism.

Old people have a very limited scopes to regenerate themselves and are more insecure to disease, syndromes, and sickness unlike other adults. For the biology of ageing, see senescence. The medical study of the aging process is gerontology, and the study of diseases that afflict the elderly is geriatrics.

 The human personality is developed in a series of stages that take place from the time of birth to death. Old age can be said to be a period of "Integrity vs. Despair" and a person focuses on reflecting back on their life during this period. Those who were unsuccessful during the phase feel that their life has been wasted and they regret allot. Most of the old people are left with feelings of bitterness and despair. Those who feel proud of their achievements, feel a sense of integrity. Successfully completing the phases of life mean looking back with few regrets and a general feeling of satisfaction.
