"And then the justice,

In fair round belly with good capon lined,

With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,

Full of wise saws and modern instances;

And so he plays his part."

MIDDLE AGED: IT IS THE PERIOD AFTER EARLY ADULTHOOD AND BEFORE OLD AGE, BETWEEN FORTIES AND SIXTIES. EXPERIENCING A SENSE OF MORTALITY, SADNESS, OR LOSS IS COMMON AT THIS AGE. SIGNS OF AGING ARE QUITE VISIBLE.

MIDDLE ADULTHOOD CAN BE A TIME WHEN A PERSON RE-EXAMINES THEIR LIFE BY TAKING STOCK, AND EVALUATING THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS. ONE BECOMES EVEN MORE CONCIOUS. THIS PERIOD IS USUALLY SATISFYING, TRANQUIL.

THEY THINK THEY HAVE ACQUIRED WISDOM THROUGH THE MANY EXPERIENCES THEY HAD IN THEIR LIFE, AND ARE LIKELY TO IMPART THEM. THEY HAVE REACHED A STAGE WHERE, THEY HAVE GAINED PROSPERITY AND SOCIAL STATUS. THEY BECOMES VAIN AND ENJOY FINER THINGS OF LIFE.

Life is strange in itself, neither can anyone predict it nor can anyone blame it ; all you have to do is be prepared for it. Want to know what even more strange? It's the fact how a stammering little child goes from being shy, to facing the world at It's worst, with such boldness that one would have hard time believing the fact that this is the same person.

It's a fact that people change, their behavior changes, their looks.... Well that's something that changes every now and then ; what remains the same is their memories. You can try change your future and even your present but past is something that'll never change, it'll forever be the same. No matter how hard you try you can't change it and it may be the reason why people try to achieve the best, to change the future; to make the future better .

It may also be the reason why, many parents try to take decision for their children, as they don't want their children to go through with what they did. But this interference is not always accepted, especially when children like to take their own decision. Children now-a-days are very smart, they want to experience life by themselves without any intervention from their parents. They want to learn from their own mistakes. But parents being parents are over-protective and want to shield their child from any cruelties.

While young adults are somewhat impulsive , in later years they learn to understand the importance of seriousness too. Middle aged people are satisfied with their lives yet sadness, stress and tension is common among them. Worry for their loved one's may be one of the reasons, for the cause of it.

A middle aged couple sat in the living room of their house. A heated argument was going between them. Both were fuming , neither of them ready to back down. Their children, a teenage girl and a young adult.

Both their daughters stood outside the door, eavesdropping on their parents argument, only it was not an argument. It looked like a bull and lion ready to face off, funny thing being that their mother was born in the hour of bull meaning she was a Taurus while, their father on other hand was born in hour of lion meaning he was a Leo , what a match ... totally made in heaven.

The daughters could not comprehend what was it that made their mother snap? Thought the woman was scary, snapping her out of her composure and making her this angry only meant that it was something big.

"No one's coming here and that's final." She spoke on top of her lungs. Both the girls shared a look, their expression marring each other. Both were confused beyond words. What in the heaven! Or more like... Who in the heaven! Was so unwelcomed in their home that their mother was literally an inch away from her breakdown point, all set to break hell.

"You can't decide for others'" replied the male, confusing there daughters further.

"You should learn to follow your own words, dear husband. It's not appreciated being a hypocrite."

"Who are you calling hypocrite?" the male fumed.

"Isn't it obvious , seeing as it's just you and me here and there's no way I'll call myself that." At that moment the girls decided that it was going to turn ugly so , they better leave before they are caught and become scapegoat to their parents fury.

"You are being impossible. I am doing what's good for her." The father shot back.

"You can't decide it. She deserves to make her own decision. You may have made decided various things about her life but this, this is something really big. She needs be a part of it and that too more than you."

"She'll be part of it, after all it's her that'll get married not me."

"Why are you doing this? She deserves best , don't you agree.." the mother sounded defeated , almost hopeless. She couldn't help but think that sometimes her husband was stubborn as a mule and her younger child was like female version of her husband whose surpassed that of her father's.

"This is the best for her. Do you really think that, I will settle for anything less than best for her? My very own daughter, my own flesh and blood." The middle aged male was on brink of losing it, he was trying really hard to not snap at his wife who was acting as a fool not understanding a thing. "I have seen life experienced it and I know what is best for her." He added further with so much power that it left no place for discussion.

The man left the room, leaving his wife standing there looking after him as he left in anger. Her heart was torn unable to understand who to choos , her husband or child. One will get hurt, no matter what. She knew her husband was right. She agreed with him up to some extent but not fully. How can she? When she herself have experienced the same emotions, when she herself was a young adult. Her parent didn't even once ask her what she wanted and that hurt.

It was not as if she was unhappy, in fact she was happily married for more than two decades. But right now it didn't matter to the woman, how her life turned out to be but what mattered was the turn her child's life was to take place. She can't let history repeat itself, it was not fair to her child.

The couple was in such a stage of life where they have faced the world and being together for so long from thick to thin have made them each other's strength. It had also made them more aware of the world and sometimes even fear it.

They were happy with their lives. They had everything one could ask for. There was love in the family which was what mattered but as the time passed and the children grew , their father's over- protectiveness too grew.

He had experienced a lot , life as made him what he is today but to reach where he was he had gone through hell and this raised his desire to protect his children.

There was no one for him around his younger years and that was why he was always there for his children. Maybe not directly but in a way or other he was always with his kids.

As his daughter grew everyday, so did his worry grew. His daughters' were beautiful especially the elder one but she was innocent by heart, at heart she was as naïve as a young child even if she was way past the age. He wanted to preserve the innocence of his young flower that was ready to bloom any day mow.

He was worried , stressed but above all protective. He can't have his child make an impulsive decision and cry about it her whole life. So he did what he thought was right and fixed her marriage.

LIFE is sometimes hard to deal with.... Being careless is not an option and Responsibility looks like the only option....... it can be the other name to a middle aged...

"Responsibility becomes you" will be more like it...
