Lunar New Year
Every year at this period of time, his mood would go slightly down.
Human beings are strange creatures. Why must we create the concept of TIME? With this concept, we classify people: Young; Old; and Aged. With this concept, people who are sensitive and strong in self-awareness, would sense the time frame for himself or herself in this world is getting shorter and shorter. Do animals feels the same? Do you think the dog at your house really think about how long would he stay in this world after today?
As age grows, one feels he is getting older. At the early stage, this person may feel he is growing, maturing and have adulthood. But once he crossed over the age of 40, he would start feeling his life is sliding down the slope and a slow speed. When he is in his 50s, he would feel he gliding at a higher speed on the slope towards the end of his journey!
When days are limited, he would start to think about the meaning of existance of himself. He will start to reflect on what he had done in the past. He would examine and evaluate what he has achieved in the past too. On his report book, he would realise there are so many things that he had achieved are meaningless to LIFE itself! He starts to ponder on his thoughts to find out what is value to achieve from today to the day he stops breathing.
He looks around and see people fighting for names and frame. He would smile and walk away. There is a madding crowd out there. He becomes a loner, a misfit in the environment.
Every Lunar New Year period, he listens to the New Year Songs over and over again; he visits the goodies stores as years before, he realises his visits are getting numbered too.
He understands he is walking a step nearer to the other end, he likes it or not.

Hey sir, that's perhaps just 1 perspective of looking at time. On the other hand, you can view the elderly as people whom are rich with experience and have bundles of wealth in any form to share with the youngsters who are still so lost in the midst of adapting to the world. It's never the end. It's always the beginning of a new journey! :)
concept of time was not created by human beings, but by nature. how weird to that anybody could think that it was created by human beings
