Yup, pls do allow me to make an update entry on the views that were found previously in The Star on Fri 111209...

And yup, it's because of a response to that writer (writer #1 in my previous entry) which was published in the Views page in The Star today.

This writer #3 responded with...to quote the relevant part...

"The bulk of seniors....are alarmed that while goodies were dished out to those who are gainfully employed, the Budget gives them nothing but takes away part of their savings, at a time when they cannot work."

He (I'm assuming it's a "He') further added that...

"If the Budget cannot give any goodies to the seniors, what we are asking is, do not take away part of our savings, make life difficult than it is."

And he sort of ended with

"We were your age once. We were also narrow in our range of thinking once. We had simplistic views once. We also lectured our elders and parents once upon a time."

How true...don't you agree? Every old person was young once...and most, if not all, old people went through everthing else that had to do with youth & being young. Life is a cycle, as often quoted.

Recently, I even went as far as using this line as a form of simple advice... "Never grow old..." Can you do so? I mean...Never grow old?

Well, our writer friend finally ended his letter with

"...take this advice or we will have to pray for all of your generation to be wise, mature, caring, understanding...."

Would he have to? Pray for the generation of the 1st writer? Or is there hope?

YOU tell me....
