We must all care in return

Good morning friends. On “Zicolo Today” I want us to examine an issue which many of us are guilty of. My decision to discuss this is not to condemn anyone but to encourage us all to make amendments where necessary. The truth is that there are many people in our lives who have one way or the other, contributed immensely to ensure that we get to where we are today. Many have had to make unimaginable sacrifices for us to become who we are. In the course of time, many of these people have become old, helpless, and weak and therefore need our support. The heart-breaking reality is that majority of such people (especially the elderly ones) spend what is supposed to be their "Golden Years" living in solitude and loneliness. Many of us are not only guilty of abandoning these people but also guilty of erroneously believing that the only support we can give them is our money. While I admit that money will go a long way in the providing a form of assistance, the truth is that the greatest gift you can give to such people is your Time, Presence etc. Of course many of us will readily come up with lack of time as an excuse, but the truth is that with proper time management and a fervent willingness to make sacrifices, we can do a lot to give them time, hope, our presence etc. Starting from this moment, I want to encourage us that no matter how little, we should strive to always give them our greatest gift….our time, our presence, our skills etc. Let us remember the law of karma…..in no time it will be time to reap what we are sowing. I encourage us all to make amends where necessary. Make that visitation today, remember, thousands of phone calls can never be compare to your physical presence. Always have it in mind that the best time to love your loved ones is when they are still alive. Don’t wait till they are dead. Have a great day and don’t forget to give this a deep thought.
