My dream is to make this world a better place to live in. So for this I always visit old-age homes. Thats because the main thing that the elderly inmates at old age home miss the most is Happiness. They struggled for their kids to settle them down and when they settle down, such kids treated them in such rude way. Those abandoned parents in old age homes wish they could be a part of their childs happiness but sadly they cant. I always visit the old age homes with home-made food, clothes, and gifts and spend the entire day with them. We sing songs, play games, eat lunch and have a great time. Its a wonderful sight to see all the gloomy faces glowing in the light of happiness. The Joy and Smiles on their faces are simply priceless. Being a part of their life gives me the true essence of Quality of Thought and Stillness of Being as I feel privileged to bring cheer and sparkle in their lives. I had always wanted to do something like this, and I feel really happy that by doing this I got the opportunity to fulfill my dream. Visiting old-age home and sharing happiness with the elderly inmates and getting their blessings is the best gift one can get. Sometimes giving yourself a gift comes about when you address it to someone else.
