RE: Art Explained By A Writer: The Walk of Death (1896)
(Accepting apples from old people is dangerous) maybe it's because of the apple or because they are old hahaha, some people look down on these people, I have even seen young people in line at some supermarkets observing the way they make their card transactions and their expression says, how slow, they forget that they will also grow old, older people are treasures that we must know how to value, they carry the passage of years and the teachings from which we can profit. Death is imminent and we must accept it, I always say, if you accept that you will die, you will live more peacefully
It is indeed strange how some, not all, are irritated when people around them are not as quick as they are. I already notice how elderly people apologise when the cashier piles up their groceries, crushes half of them and starts with the next customer before the groceries are packed. When they do that to me, I become extremely slow and I pay cash, so I count each coin twice and hold it up to the light to check the date and whether it is a euro, one from another country or a foreign currency, because I have all the time in the world and the cashier is paid by the hour and even though she holds up her hand, she chats with the other cashier without even looking at me.
So I nod at the elderly person in front of me and say, I have all the time in the world, take your time, there is plenty of time and there are self-pay cash registers for those who are in a hurry and only buy Mars and fast food because they never learnt to cook. Oh, did YOU forget to buy tea and biscuits.... let them wait, I'll get it for you and I'll walk into the shop at my leisure. Too bad then for those in a hurry,do your shopping when you have time and be glad you live in a world of luxury that you didn't build yourself with blood, sweat and tears.
Thanks for stopping by again dear friend, you are right we all will be old and if not old sick and not able to run again but is there a need to? Isn't life worth a slow walk, to be observed and enjoyed?
