International Day of Older Persons
Posted by Cecilia under: Art and Culture; Economy .
Tomorrow the world will celebrate the International Day of Older Persons. The theme this year is: Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the International Year of Older Persons: Towards a Society for All Ages.
This theme expresses exactly what esteem is all about. A society for all ages means all ages receive esteem equally. Giving esteem toward older persons makes them feel an important part of society.
Being retired from active working life shouldn’t mean that older persons get less attention and esteem.
Older persons deserve esteem as much as anyone else. The International Day of Older Persons reminds us to give esteem toward elderly, whether they are members of our family or strangers, by giving them independence, participation, care, self-fulfillment and dignity.
One Comment so far...
