The Golden years a time in all our lives where we look forwardto retirement, long gone are the days when pensioners were intheir prime.
Now the prime candidates for the government's new ruling ofraising retirement to the ripe old age of 67. How many of thegolden oldies will make it down to the local post office tocollect their pensions.
What happened to the days when grandparents sat you on theirlap and told funny stories of their child hood? Kiddies of the21st century now listen to tales of woe of how life was astruggle or the pain suffered because the list for a hipreplacement was as long as your arm. Sometimes it makes youwonder why our children today are full of so much anger andhate, when the stories told do not fill them with laughter justsadness.
Turned are the golden years into olden years more like, whereold timers are liberated to do as they please. Do what? Have youever tried skiing on a Zimmer frame or sky diving with apacemaker?
Slave Labour (excuse the pun) went out with the ark so webelieved but is back with vengeance.
For e.g. the government took measures to protect pensioners fromthe freezing winter by giving a heating allowance only to takeit back forcing them to hobble through blizzards to work somemore. Compassion is far from their thoughts when enforcing newlaws. These governing bodies certainly know how to take theliving out of life of all human beings.
The days and dreams of ever attempting a dare devil stunt forall golden oldies (pensioners) will forever remain a memory. Tohave lived their lives in the fast lane will always be in theirthoughts.
I hasten to add it is never too late to sit the kiddies on yourlap once again and fill them with knowledge on how to get thebest out of life under the jurisdiction of others. There willalways be rules/regulations that we as a nation are not happywith, so what can we do about it? In some cases choices arezilch, so on with the thermals to clock on for another eighthour shift.
But for those still in their prime give them the opportunity tolive your dream for you.
Children in the twentieth century are going to struggle likethat of the old days without an education. To be able to succeedor cope in this world then knowledge is a necessity. Members ofparliament are where they are today because they furthered theireducation to their own advantage, if that's what it takes for achild to have life put back into living then act now.
There are many active pensioners who this article is notpersonally directed at but for those who are tired, then I saytake heed all political members and let the golden oldies enjoywhat ever little time they have left on this planet so they cango prune their roses.
With no education dont expect your child to have what you as aparent wish for them. Do the right thing and further theireducation, this way you have peace of mind when you can not bearound. Proven results at http://www.allaboutonlineeducation.com
