Summarize

About an unspoken social contract

Isaac Quesada @ unsplash

When we enter this world, there are tears of joy, loving caresses, and aspirations for the future… a future where dreams may turn into realities.

Then life happens. The passage of time, the influence of life experiences… rips and tears the fabric of life. The mind and body ages, bringing with it uncertainty, doubt, and apprehension.

Someone, once so vital and active, now sits in a chair staring out a window, not knowing who he is, not having a bag full of life experiences beside him to bring comfort and encouragement.

Isn’t it my responsibility, isn’t it our responsibility to pay homage and honor to a life well-lived?

Shouldn’t we strive to prevent the dark shadows of loneliness and despair from extinguishing the flame of their existence?

These are questions that require answers.
