                                   The Need of Caretaker

One day I came across an advertisement, " Caretakers Available". The advertisement said, many women and girls who need jobs of caretaker for senior citizen and kids.
        My mind started pondering over the word 'Caretaker'. Do we need caretaker? When husband and wife are the caretakers of each others, then why is the need of outside 'caretaker'? Can't they take care of their partner? Yes. When the 'inside' door closes, the 'outside' door opens.
        Taking care does not expect money. 'Care' involves love, sympathy, sacrifice, moral support and fulfilling the physical desires. When the 'inside' caretaker stops giving these things, the 'outside' caretaker peeps into our life. When life becomes isolated, lonely and hungry of physical desires, one needs someone to take 'care'. The need of outside 'caretaker' will not arise if the 'inside' caretaker is alive.
