Growing older can be seen as a blessing, particularly for those who have faced severe trials and tribulations throughout their lives. For individuals who have seen challenges from a young age, the prospect of leaving behind life’s struggles and stages can bring a sense of relief, akin to the joy experienced during Christmas celebrations.
Life’s journey is not always smooth or filled with love for everyone. While some seem to navigate their trials with ease, blessed with understanding friends and supportive family members who stand by them through thick and thin, not everyone is fortunate enough to have such a strong support system. Some are born into this world alone and eventually depart from it alone.
For individuals unfortunate enough to lack a strong support network, time becomes their only source of relief. With each passing year, they gradually come closer to the end of their earthly journey, which is a comfort for them. Therefore it is important to adopt an optimistic approach that growing old may seem intimidating to those whose lives are filled with ease, but for many, the passing of each year gradually reduces their burdens and sorrows.
