Does old age means only suffering?

I think when you are old you have more problems because you need help for many thing, you go back as you were a child, we can say that finish as we started...

sometimes old age is synonymous with suffering and age that makes us bear things that we have never imagined of..... there are times when i feel what will happen to me when i grow old.... that gives me a lot of tensions thinking about the same.

Not All if many have suffered the same fate as Mr. Mishra. People have suffered even more when they are younger. It must have been something he was destined to be... he can actually get out of his miserable life if he chose to, you have mentioned he does not want to accept any help. So i guess many have offered to help him but he rejected them. We are like what we are because of the choices we make.

What he did was his own decision. He can choose to accept his fate and move for the better or he can choose not to accept any help. Considering that he is an old man already, by now he should have a fair share in life's experiences and he should learn from them...

You do not say how old he is. He has a small pension and earns some money, so maybe he does not need help. Of course he will suffer from the sad loss of his only son. That is what makes me sorry for him. Losing his house and his car are misfortunes but, compared to losing his son, they are not so bad.

I think the age isn't the most important problem.If you want to do something every time is ok.There is no lifeline for them,they also can do everything they want.
