from maulana rome

once  a very  old  man  came  to  see  the  wisest of  hakims  who  gave  herbal  medicines,  the  old  man  said he  was  losing memory
the  herbal  doctor  said  it  was  his  old  age
that  he  was  losing  his eye  sight
-it  was  because  of  his  old  age
-that  he  was  losing his  strength and  felt  weak
-it  was  because  of  his  old  age
like  this  the  herbal  doctor  kept  on remarking  till the  old  man became  angry  annoyed  and  shouted  back  at  him , if he  had  any  other  reason besides  repeating  that  old  age  was  the  only  problem

--the  doctor  smiled  and  said  he  was  shouting  because  he  lost  his  patience  and  will power  and  tolerance  like  all  controls  of  body  functions  are  lost  in old  age
