Re: Miserable people
Old age shouldn’t stop you from living though and to be honest, my grandparents still travel regularly, walk around the neighbourhood, cook and enjoy their lives. They are in their 80’s Mashallah. Why do you need to sit idly and gossip about people? Even if you can’t move your body or are ill, it’s still no excuse or justification to speak badly about someone or how they decide to live their life.
I’m not generalizing all aunties, and there are some who were housewives all their lives but aren’t miserable and don’t gossip or behave rudely. What I’m talking about is those who have experienced that same behaviour against them when they were younger and dish it out to younger women. For example, some of these older aunties who I’ve personally come across, weren’t allowed to further study or work, or even allowed to freely go out with their husbands without hearing things from their MIL, other women relatives. These same women who are now MIL’s repeat the same things with their own DIL’s. That’s my problem… it’s like you repeat the misery you had done to you. It’s a repeating cycle that doesn’t end.
