Does it sound like story telling? Yes more or less it is storytelling........ When you look back life, it has its own stories, when we try to think or share with others it is called story telling.
Some of them are interesting, some are sad, some are incomplete, some are complicated..... life has its ups and downs to every human being, that is the nature of the life, as every one of us knows........
But the incidents differ from person to person, when we want to share all the past memories of life, if we get a right person to share, it's really worth and feel happy; but most of the time, particularly in older age to get a suitable companion or a good friend or good listeners are very difficult, if anyone got such is the luckiest person on earth.
I know many old people, senior citizens, after their retirement, life become tough, kind of loneliness occupies them, but at times, few are luckily get suitable companions to share their valuable experiences, and share with their happy and sad moments in their past life.
when we talk about "THE EXPERIENCES" what they earned in their life is worthiest; even if we pay dollars or millions of rupees it may not be available at anywhere or in any books, Am sure. No matter what kind of experience, but it is worth.
Actually speaking it is not only benefit of a listener, but also the story teller, get relaxed mentally, the happiness he could not get out of any other entertainment, he fills with joy and complete satisfaction.
I can assure that their experiences are not only benefit us but also new dimension of life experiences teach more about life. But how many of us ready to listen, most of the young people never mind all these stories, most of them ignore elders, young people think that they are living in a very different culture and most modern life, so they think it is waste to listen to the elders.
O! Youngsters........ I am sure that you are really missing valuables of life, I am sure that they might think when some obstacle has occurred in life, I am sure if they listen to the elders they can avoid some of the miserable.
