SPEECH AND SILENCE.

To live a problem-free-life as senior citizens, we have to remember and practice two Golden Rules.

The first one is to reply earnestly, sincerely and with interest to any idea/ suggestion/ advise sought from us – on any issue.

The second one is to listen with rapt attention to whatever is being told to us.

These two rules look simple enough but they are not so easy to follow!

If we keep aloof all the time, there will be no attachment between the members of the family.

At the same time if we keep on prying into every matter and business with curiosity, the youngsters will get exasperated. But we must not show indifference when we are asked to get involved.

To put it in a nutshell, if we learn to live like a lotus leaf, always in contact but not dominating or pressurizing in any way, we can live happily.
