JUST PHILOSOPHISING - ON HOW LIFE IS A PROCESS OF TAKING TURNS. THE END.....
I am reminded of the fact that, life is a process of taking turns. Of, depending on the hand which fate has dealt us, doing all or many of the things, performing many, if not all of the roles and duties which others before us, have perform.
It is about taking turns from being a very dependant infant to a curious child, wanting to explore the world.
Which is going to spawn and nurture them into becoming the adolescents, the adults, the parents who will, in years to come.
Become the another generation of protective, loving, and, yes, not so caring and even destructive adults. Mothers, fathers and then grandparents.
Further contemplating on this life is this process of taking turns, I become mindful of the fact that, the 'turns' in life which we take and must take.
Be it the first, such as being born, or the last, such as having to die, do change in kinds and degrees.
Depending on the society in which we live and the extent of the technological, economic, social, religious and political changes which each society experiences.
What probably does not and will never change, is the turn of one generation to give birth to the next generation.
And to care for and nurture them into becoming the parents and protector of future generations.
As well as to assume the role of providing some of the care and protection for the generations which are in decline.
Those who have cared for and protected them, in their years of heightened vulnerability.
Even as they/we, continue to aspire for a better future for them, as we continue to live our lives as best we can, as we approach the cliff of Destiny, and journey's end, for a life as we have known it.
These, then, are the thoughts and reflections which could find resonance with all humans who have attained the age of reasoning, at moments of reflection. As we must all take turns in life, even if we do not all take all the same turns, depending on the hand or path which fate has dealt us.
