Undivided

Been so busy as 2012 started. Many things had came and left. Here I am now. Writing what is have I saw, what I had conquered, what had I failed and what had I learned. Time flies. Leaving hometown to Nilai had been two years ago seems like blinking an eye. One year more. One year. Give me one more year. So I can serve human race better.

This post based on my topic above is about what I felt in my heart. I hope people can understand why I chose this instead of the other. People may see things differently. Everyone has their own POV(Point of View).

Child care has been a booming industry since the 70's. Even nowadays government hospitals are recognize for their "Baby Friendly" hospitality. When I mention friendly means it is really friendly. Not the opposite*Just incase*. Well, am sure who are mothers out there are glad to know about this. You can see their motto on the wall of the hospital. Providing friendly service to the baby. That is a good thing.

Babies are cute, sweet and irresistible. They seriously are the most gorgeous "creature" in this human life cycle. They are naive and innocent. When a baby cries, you can see nurses rushing towards them to meet their needs. They will even make silly faces just to make the baby stop crying even they(Babies) are not even fully developed till that extend. Attention and care has been given. All eyes are on them.

But....

What about the old people?! Are they as cute as the babies? As adorable as them?

Am sure you all know the answers from your heart.

Why are they being left out? People always says Old as Gold. Really? Then why are they neglected? Why are there still nurses left them unattended? What's even worst. Yelling at them telling them to shut up. Yelling at them when they can't follow your instruction. This is a very common scene in Malaysia. Student nurse. When they are required to clean up and old sick patient's mess, where are you? You are suppose to provide undivided attention to them. They are often the ones who have been left out. What's even worst. Some patients are left there with their poops in their pants for 1 or 2 days. Imagine that old person is you. How would you feel?

Sons and daughters. Never even think that it is our job to take care of your parents when they are old and sick. They are apart of you. Where you came from. Be grateful. Do visit them once in awhile. Working is hectic. We all know. But please do spend sometime with them. They are not going to be long in this world. Treasure them. Love them. Am sure you will miss them someday if you are still human. They are the ones who raise you up and yet this is how you repay them by putting them in the hospital for weeks?

Old folks are adorable people too. They too have emotions and feeling. Some old people who have Alzheimer they tend to act like a kid. Some even may forget your name. Will you still keep the promise that you made when you are still a kid to take care of them when they are old? Now is the time to fulfilled that vow that you had made. One day your turn will come and you will lie on white pale bed. begging for you children's attention. If you are never a good example, how can you expect them to not be the same like you?Think about it.

What Goes Around Comes Around.

Next time when you visit a hospital or an old folks home. Please do give them a smile or a hug. Am sure from the bottom of their hearts, they know that there are people who still cares for them. Talk to them. Keep them companied. Although they tends to be naggy sometime. Give them attention like how you give to your young ones.

Start making a difference today. You may never know~
