THE WISDOM OF LIFE : True mental/physical health may not be sustained on its own. It is based on other life areas. Life purpose and work, relationships, fairness, ecology, inner search, etc. RELATIONSHIPS ...
Relationships have 

not just to do with romance. Another area of relationships and social life relates to children and the elderly and how we think of them. All of us need to feel that our lives have a purpose and feel fully satisfied. In older times, the elderly were respected for their life-experience and the younger generation approached them for wise counsel. Today anything old or slow is considered unwise and we place parents in nursing homes - having no time to care for them. People working in nursing homes report that one of the main issues with the elderly is depression, lack of social integration and life purpose. Depression and the use of drugs is also on the rise amongst the younger generation, for the same reasons.
If we can realize the need for the young and elderly to be fully integrated into society, everyone’s health, emotions and spirit will be enhanced.
