I love the piece on elephants turning to their elders for wisdom. In today's world there's a perception that elders and the people of the past are primitive and our 'advanced' knowledge and societies can't derive any value from previous generations. But all humans face existential crises and seek for a purpose and meaning in life. That search for meaning and purpose has been answered in the Quran where guidance is provided to live meaningfully. Even books both fiction and non-fiction had messagings of finding meaning through serving God which is lost in today's literature. Ultimately being purposeful through serving Allah is the way to be the fittest. Great piece!
Thanks Leena! Totally agree! I have a piece coming soon on the subject of retirement which is all about elders, wisdom and a world which has cast them aside which I think you'll love.
