Reality Bites - 2

Certain realizations hit hard...but its for good. I came across a saying today, which talks about how u come into this world alone and die alone....its not something that i would have thought of at the age of 20,but its hard to ignore. A fact that not many think of...but it still exists. We expect to share each and every moment of our lives with the people around us,to be surrounded by people we love all the time.
I saw an old couple of about 80 years of age walking the other day.....holding hands,with small steps one after the other.... I was wondering as to who was supporting whom...but the very sight brought tears to my eyes...whether they were tears to see the two old people supporting eachother in every way they could or to see that even at this age they had to fend for themselves with no one to look after them,i am not sure. It is definitely convincing to know that they have eachother, but i still fail to understand what could have made their family,friends to leave them by themselves. The bond of love that was visible between them seemed to be so strong and solid. A sight hardly seen these days when love is just a hyped expression but not an emotion that is understood and fulfilled.
Loneliness....a phase of life that i hope no individual has to face.....
