Hi,
My wife and I were having lunch with a friend who is now working for a charitable organisation.
She was telling us that they have a team of doctors visiting sickly old folks who are living on their own.
These patients asked the doctors what do they know about loneliness.
So what is loneliness to you?
No friends to play golf or mahjong with you?
No friends to watch EPL soccer matches on a weekend?
No friends to watch a movie and chit chat with you?
Well, these old folks told the doctors that loneliness is waking up every day and waiting to die...!
It is very sad indeed to die alone and waiting for death to come knocking on your door every day......sigh....
So if you know any old folks ( parents or relatives or even friends who are on their own ), I think it would be great if you could them one of these days... but better be early than later....
And hopefully, we would not end up in such a situation too.....
Take care!
David
