Golden Years and Tears - Pension In One Hand And Out With The
Other
The Golden years a time in all our lives where we look forward
to retirement, long gone are the days when pensioners were in
their prime.
Now the prime candidates for the government's new ruling of
raising retirement to the ripe old age of 67. How many of the
golden oldies will make it down to the local post office to
collect their pensions.
What happened to the days when grandparents sat you on their
lap and told funny stories of their child hood? Kiddies of the
21st century now listen to tales of woe of how life was a
struggle or the pain suffered because the list for a hip
replacement was as long as your arm. Sometimes it makes you
wonder why our children today are full of so much anger and
hate, when the stories told do not fill them with laughter just
sadness.
Turned are the golden years into olden years more like, where
old timers are liberated to do as they please. Do what? Have you
ever tried skiing on a Zimmer frame or sky diving with a
pacemaker?
Slave Labour (excuse the pun) went out with the ark so we
believed but is back with vengeance.
For e.g. the government took measures to protect pensioners from
the freezing winter by giving a heating allowance only to take
it back forcing them to hobble through blizzards to work some
more. Compassion is far from their thoughts when enforcing new
laws. These governing bodies certainly know how to take the
living out of life of all human beings.
The days and dreams of ever attempting a dare devil stunt for
all golden oldies (pensioners) will forever remain a memory. To
have lived their lives in the fast lane will always be in their
thoughts.
I hasten to add it is never too late to sit the kiddies on your
lap once again and fill them with knowledge on how to get the
best out of life under the jurisdiction of others. There will
always be rules/regulations that we as a nation are not happy
with, so what can we do about it? In some cases choices are
zilch, so on with the thermals to clock on for another eight
hour shift.
But for those still in their prime give them the opportunity to
live your dream for you.
Children in the twentieth century are going to struggle like
that of the old days without an education. To be able to succeed
or cope in this world then knowledge is a necessity. Members of
parliament are where they are today because they furthered their
education to their own advantage, if that's what it takes for a
child to have life put back into living then act now.
There are many active pensioners who this article is not
personally directed at but for those who are tired, then I say
take heed all political members and let the golden oldies enjoy
what ever little time they have left on this planet so they can
go prune their roses.
With no education dont expect your child to have what you as a
parent wish for them. Do the right thing and further their
education, this way you have peace of mind when you can not be
around. Proven results at http://www.allaboutonlineeducation.com
