We will always getting older and older, which means we will be dealing with all of the physical weakening, such as myopic, skin wrinkles, and difficulty in walking. Everyone will experience the exact same thing which is being old.
When they're being old, they are supposed to stop working, certainly there are many people who want to stay at home and rather visiting their grandchildren.
But, it's not perceived by this very old woman who looks like doesn't have a family. She was seen sitting on the sidewalk selling her several bundles of leaves that have been laid out neatly. The leaves are nothing but used to make a living.

| Old Woman in front of mini market in LubukLinggau city |
A netizen photographed an old woman selling melinjo leaves and uploaded it to Facebook. This old woman is oftenly seen in front of mini market in LubukLinggau city, South Sumatra, Indonesia.
Melinjo is a species of Gnetum which lives only in southeast Asia and western Pacific Ocean. One of them lives in Indonesia. (Wikipedia.org)
With a thin and weak body, this old woman was not desperate selling her leaves of melinjo to support her life. She was already old and frail, she can't even walk well. But she doesn't want to beg to people she met. She didn't sell them expensive, but for only 1000 Rupiah, which worth about $0.07. With such erratic earning, she would have trouble in fulfilling daily needs.
Perhaps the above story can be a lesson that there are many people with their capability who still fighting for their life.
