I remember this story taking place in the neighborhood where I lived, which was a building area in the city. On New Year's Day last year, something embarrassing happened in our community. An old lady who lived alone died suddenly, and her three children were not around, so no one knew that she had fallen ill, and it was not until her son visited her home that she found out that her mother had died.
This news caused a sensation in the community, and everyone was very sorry and puzzled, because at noon someone saw the old lady basking in the sun at the gate of the community, but passed away in the afternoon. The old lady was a familiar face to the old people who used to walk and chat together, but to the others, the upstairs and downstairs neighbors were almost strangers to each other. City dwellers often live in isolation, and when the door is closed, it is like entering a separate world, and it is difficult to integrate into the surrounding community. This sense of alienation makes strangers commonplace in the city, and even neighbors who live in the same building rarely communicate. In contrast, in the days of the countryside, neighbors helped each other and got to know each other closer, and the relationship between people was more intimate.
The death of the old lady in this story makes people think deeply, she lives aloneenvironmentThere are great potential safety hazards in itself, and the traditional concept of raising children to prevent old age is also facing difficulties in reality. We need to rethink this and think about how to build closer relationships in cities and how to secure themElderly people who live alonesafety and well-being.
For this old lady, the death may be a "sudden" ending, but it can also be said to be the best ending. She didn't cause trouble for the children, she didn't let herself suffer more. Although she did not die in her bed, we are all equal in the moment when people die like lights going out. When people see this story, some people may feel that they wish they could leave so "suddenly". This kind of thinking is not uncommon, and everyone has a different attitude towards life and death.
But we have to face the reality: birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable cycles, and whether we are afraid and afraid in the face of death depends on our mentality and experience. For me, death cannot be avoided no matter what, and I am willing to accept this process bravely, hoping not to leave too many regrets.
Everyone's attitude towards death may be different, but whether it's acceptance or reverence, there are a few things we can think about from this story. First of all, we should cherish and care for our loved ones, especially the elderly. Elderly people who live aloneThe safety issue cannot be ignored, and we need more attention and care. Secondly, although raising children to prevent old age is a traditional concept, we must also understand that filial piety is only one aspect, and what is really important is to create a happy and safe one for the elderlyenvironment。Finally, we must dare to face the fragility and transience of life, cherish time, and live in the moment.
This story gave me a lot to think about, and it also made me re-examine my attitude towards life and death. Life is precious, and we should be responsible for our own lives. Let's face death with an indifferent heart and live our lives.
