CONCLUSION

 

Within the previous 100 pages I have tried my best to express and spread some of my sincere 23,000 words to expose and express the hidden thoughts that may be able to encourage the readers to pick up their pens and put their own valuable thoughts on paper for others to read, appreciate and enjoy.

In many cases my thoughts can become support for the readers to gently guide them towards understanding their own lives a little better during times of difficulties and letting other friends and family members lead a more comfortable family life.

I have tried my best to look back into my family and work life to present these calm, collected and penetrating thoughts that reveal two aspects of my objective for writing them. First one is to understand some of the anguish and grief that bother us from time to time and the other is to get some hope, comfort and inspiration to lead a better life. I do hope that some of my thoughts would be able to lift the spirit of the readers and enlighten their soul.

In the twilight of memory and in our daily busy life and complex activities I have a feeling that we should meet some more to carry on with further discussions of these thoughts and ideas. When we do meet for that meaningful conference once again after you have read and digested the so many complex ideas presented here we should be able to compare notes, face critical appreciation or remain silent to accept what has been humbly presented.

Naturally, I have begun to dislike getting older because the world I live in now has worsened in many respects. My understanding of my exciting life is gradually fading. Sometimes I find it difficult to connect to people I like. I am even not able to weave the stories of my experiences and worst of all I cannot apply them to my advantage any more. I regret making a lot of mistakes in my life and have learnt a few things from them but I cannot integrate those lessons any more as I used to do. That is the onslaught of old age.

Things over the years have become more and more difficult, cumbersome, painful, lonely and disturbing as I move ahead. I find it hard to see beauty as I used to do. However, my faith in the Supreme Being has strengthened maybe because of fear, societal and communal pressure and my own changing beliefs.

I continuously perform the act of repentance and this gives me courage to live and let others live peacefully. I am trying to live a life of a hermit and even that is not helping me. One thing that surely keeps me going is the sincere love, kindness, care and continuous, useful and empathetic communication from my family members, relatives and faithful friends. The process of getting older is difficult but I am managing reasonably well with the help of the Almighty and my people around me. I love my Lord and my people so life moves on.

Finally since I wrote a lot about love and I still believe in the power of this great human emotion, let me leave some of my thoughts on various ways to love. I think that there are many ways for all individuals to love so we should learn to do the following:

  • Listen to our loved ones as well as others without interrupting;
  • Speak to every one without accusing;
  • Give whatever you can without sparing;
  • Pray for peace and stability without ceasing;
  • Answer intelligently without arguing;
  • Share your words, thoughts and ideas without pretending;
  • Enjoy life without complaining;
  • Trust yourself and your loved ones without wavering;
  • Forgive every one without punishing;
  • Promise but fulfil without forgetting;
  • Smile always but without faking;
  • Live your life by healthy living; and
  • Love your people without pretending.

This presentation therefore would be my last because all that I wanted to narrate I have done them as I wished and I leave the readers to read and critically appreciate these ideas.
