Ways of the crow: A lesson for us?

Was at the playground and exercise station at Bedok South area, just opposite of TJC (Whose collar batch reads JTC from left to right -> Jurong Town Council cleaner is what i call my elder bro who aced his studies over there). Sat there watching the elderly folks working out at the exercise machines, and the kids playing over at the playground.

I realised that there are parents watching the kids while they mill about the playground, while the elderly grannies and ah-kongs worked out in silence and lonelyness. Wouldn't it be wonderful if their kids could spend some time just to be sitting at the benches watching them perspire away as they attempt to 'roll' the oars or 'jog' in the air?

I hope that it will happen to all of us one day, where people realise that the love for others, that giving time to family and friends are worth much more than gold. The effort to be sitting there on the bench for less than 30 minutes of one's time, can bring hours upon hours of unmeasureable pride and joy to one's parents as their memory of your love never fades.
