The young and the senior citizen were riding side by side on the road behind our compound wall for a short distance, today early in the morning. The young man overtook the senior citizen, because the former's speed was more than that of the other. The senior citizen looked rather uncomfortable in the scooter, sitting couched and looking not so steady! I wish he was on a automatic three wheeler, which would be more safe for him!
Nevertheless this is the fact of life! The overtakers seem to reach their destination faster.
In a competitive environment, there is a compulsion to overtake and be successful!
This senior citizen, who is moving at his pace too would hopefully arrive at his destination.
The difference is they are differently able, which affects their way of life and purpose in life.
The less able are usually left behind.
They too need enabling to live with fullness of life!
