Yes - this was sort of the same message I tried to give in my own post 'Self Image', though, as usual, almost none would have got the message :)
ReplyDeleteThe message was very clear.People can have devastating effects on our self image,specially when we are young and vulnerable.
DeleteIn the present post my focus was on the damage inflicted by the traces of passing years;when one feels inferior compared to not only others but also to one's own younger years.It can be very demoralizing.
yes Indu ji
ReplyDeleteits very important that we feel recognized ,and needed and like you have said in your comment ---we feel innferior to our own younger selves thus letting a feeling of worthlessness seep in ----its really very very important to over come this feeling ---we should take up some activities may be social work , or getting attached to some worthwhile activity . just to feel that everything is not over and you do exist .This is specially important for retired people and senior citizens
thanks one again :)
Like you say Rajni,social work or any other worthy cause can be very satisfying.
DeleteGlad you agree with me.
Love n hugs.
Validation of one's life is what one needs sometimes. And when that is not forthcoming from the world, one has to look inwards to find it and thereby find the significance of one's life, no matter how insignificant it might appear. Great post, as usual, Indu.
ReplyDeleteNow you have given me excellent validation.
DeleteYou summed it up beautifully Zephyr,thanks a lot.
