Is lending hand to elders old fashion?
I was tired and exhausted on my way home from school today. I had not a good sleep last night, I had six classes straight during the day, I had to use my remaining two free periods to complete some paper works, and I had to stay behind for the debate workshop which are always held after school. Evaluating my accomplishments for the day while walking, I noticed ahead that an elder woman was balancing her huge push cart trying to climb it up the road. She was selling barbecues and the cart was carrying a grilling pot and some meat. A good amount of smoke coming from her cart tells of her existence. Two ladies passed and smiled at her while she struggled with the cart. She smiled back. Drawn to the woman’s plight, I hurried to see if I could do anything for her. I grabbed the cart’s handle along side her and helped her push and pull the cart back and forth to find a perfect way for the wheels. It took us about 5 minutes and it demanded some reasonable strength [as if I still had enough strength, must just be the adrenaline]. After she had said her thank you and I had said my welcome, I fixed my hair back to place and walked. Just then I noticed a gentleman sitting beside the road looking at me. I shook my head thinking, he could have helped.
Thus my question, is helping the elders old fashion? Is it considered not in on today’s time? It is sad to notice that more and more people are not concerned with their elders. It is very hard to take a few minutes from their busy time to lend a hand. I am not sure if it’s only me, or are you also noticing this?
