Our
life starts shakily trying to firm up our faculties & ends shakily trying
to steady the weakening faculties. Life starts & ends on the same note of
shaky faculties. In between there is a period of moulding & firming up of faculties.
4..Senescence Stage/Old Age to Degenerating Stage to Final Rest (65 years & above): This is the time when the pot or article is near the end of utility & on the verge of breaking down. Nearing last quarter or phase of life we slowly start to be in the grip of uncertainties. Being retired, suffering ailments, losing strength & weakening faculties add to dependency on others. As we age we start losing strength & control over our other faculties. We also start losing our family members with whom we have grown & were our support system.
When life becomes brittle &
jaded it is better to bring it down gracefully before it crumbles from the
pedestal built with great effort. The pot we had moulded so lovingly has to be
disposed of when time comes. We have to willingly step down from the podium
which we had built for ourselves so that the trauma of our declining faculties
& importance is cushioned by accepting our condition.
