Hello Everyone! "The purpose of LIFE is not to be happy. It is to be USEFUL, to be HONORABLE, to be COMPASSIONATE, to have it make some DIFFERENCE that yo have lived and lived well." -Ralph Emerson

SENIOR CITIZENS,PLEASE BE MORE TALKATIVE : Generally, senior citizens are more talkative. But Doctors say, it's good. See a report below - Doctors say so. Retirees (senior citizens) should talk more because there is currently no way to prevent memory loss. The only way is to talk more. There are at least three benefits for senior citizens if they talk more . FIRST: Speaking activates the brain and keeps the brain active, because language & thought communicate with each other, especially when speaking quickly, which naturally results in faster thinking reflection and also enhances memory. Senior citizens who do not speak, are more likely to lose memory. SECOND: Speaking relieves a lot of stress, avoids mental illness and reduces stress. We often say nothing, but we bury it in our hearts and suffocate ourselves.It's true , so It would be nice to give seniors a chance to talk .
THIRD: Speaking can active the facial muscles & at the same time, exercise the throat & also increase the capacity of the lungs, at the same time, it reduces the risk of eyes & ears deterioration and reduces latent risks such as dizziness & Deafness.
IN SHORT: retirees, (senior citizens) the only way to prevent Alzheimer's is to talk as much as possible and communicate actively with people. There is no other treatment for it.🙏 Share this with your friends especially those advance in age.

Pope Francis's thoughts after his stay in hospital:

"The walls of the hospitals have heard more honest prayers than any church... They have seen more sincere kisses than in any airport...
It's in hospitals where you see a homophobic being saved by a gay doctor. A high society doctor saving the life of a beggar.... In Intensive Care you see a Jew taking care of a racist... both a police officer and a prisoner patients in the same ward receiving the same attention....
A wealthy patient in line for a liver transplant ready to receive the organ from a poor donor.
It's at these times when hospitals touch personal wounds, when universes intertwine for a divine purpose and in this coming together of destinies, we begin to realise that alone we are nobody, nothing!
The absolute truth of a person, most times, only appears when severe pain is felt or the real threat is of definite loss.
The hospital, a place where the human being removes his mask and shows just how he is in his true essence.
This life passes quickly. Don't fight anyone, don't critize your own body as much, don't complain as much, don't lose sleep worrying about unpaid bills.
Be sure to kiss your loved ones. Don't be so anxious about leaving the house immaculate. Goods and properties should be earned by each person, don't devote your time to accumulating inheritances.
Keep the dogs nearer.
Don't keep old mugs.
Use the new cutlery. Don't be mean with your favourite perfume, use it to go out even on your own. Use your favourite slippers, repeat your favourite clothes, who cares?
If it's all in order, why not now?
Why not take a rest?
Why not call now?
Why not forgive now? We wait for Christmas, or Friday, or next year or when we have more money, or when we fall in love, or when everything is perfect.... Look, perfection does not exist. The human being cannot reach it, simply because he was not made to become complete in this life.
This life is an opportunity for learning. So, enjoy this rehearsal of life and do it now...
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path and leave others to walk their own. Respect all, don't critize, judge or meddle. Love more, forgive more, give more hugs, live more intensely and leave everything else in the Hands of our Creator.

(Pope Francis)
