What now?

What happens as your children grows up and leave the nest?

A question I have ponder many a time.The house looks bigger, the rooms are emptier.Do you do up a room and wait and wait for the day that one of them might drop by one day?

As a parent you would and want to. You will then patiently dust and clean and wait for that one day.
As a practical person, you realize it is like training an army for years to use them for one day. Is it stupid? Is it worth the effort? Should one forget about the years of training sitting down anticipating the war? Or should we just forget about it and just life life as it is .After all what is the worst thing that can happen is that one dies in a war. And everybody dies one day. Is all the years of anticipating and stress worth it? After all the more one anticipate, the more one stretch out to see, the longer one's neck get and the more painful it becomes.In the end it could very well all in vain.

On the other hand, no one will tell you that a country be without an army.It is expected of you. Deep down you also want to raise that army.even if you know that it is useless or worse still , a coup can happen

So the million dollar question in 2013 is...........  what now?
