One is old, health certainly fails, and one gets closer to death .. all this in addition to all the grim realities you outlined.<BR/><BR/>As for coupling at that age .. it all depends on the social situation of each individual .. no different from someone who is 25. For the 25 year olds too have judgements passed on them if they step outside the norms established by their social circles.<BR/><BR/>And I do agree with whoever said "one has to walk in the other person's shoes to be able to see their viewpoint".Cosmic Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612222922448290112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387806561280667418.post-5404821941809432282008-02-12T10:33:00.000-05:002008-02-12T10:33:00.000-05:00Tagged!!!

Once the same happens to them and we feel uncomfortable we might play any kind of dirty acts to make them stop seeing that other person.

I am sure that if someone is widowed at a young age, the parents will try to get them remarried.

Unfortunately, most of us ...Very thought provoking. Unfortunately, most of us give in to start defining our judgments based on either the fundamentals of religion or by the standards rubriced by the the society. Everybody, wants appear good looking, its more of a pretty face with handsome morals, type of expectations.<BR/><BR/>Luckily , I need not to look anywhere else, just look around my BIG family to learn to be more accommodating (however, nothing of such sort have explicitly happened!(yet)) A life at 65 or 70 by yourself is horrifying. The void by your life partner who left you alone along with the fear of facing death is not easy. Honestly, if you ask me I will have reservation in the beginning.. because I too will be getting the glares for being part of that famiy ... but with time I will learn to accept it. You just have learn to stand for yourself and your family!<BR/><BR/>Its very hard to be self-less, because its easy to think about ownself FIRST. After all we are not all saints !<BR/><BR/>Its so uncanny, I was thinking about something along those yesterday night... however, a totally different aspect of it. <BR/><BR/>But loved you post =) Have a good ahead!Neetalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270939201703815853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387806561280667418.post-53524963816016301302008-02-11T09:43:00.000-05:002008-02-11T09:43:00.000-05:00Hey everyone, I am going to start reposting some o...Hey everyone, I am going to start reposting some of my very old blogs because I think my current audience will appreciate them and have some very good comments to make.Solitairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751415960885943414noreply@blogger.com
