What is wrong being in being old ? Terrble mindset of west wherein senior citizens are loathed and seen as burden. Is it considered to be bad to be old there in your country? Its not only old but disabled are seen as burden too. West hates to take care of old people , sick and disabled. It only invests in young agile , productive "money generating " aspect of young. Like a butcher seeing its cattles. The old are revered for experience and wisdom in many cultures. probably they are there for making as do service and give them care . she is at a phase of evolution. her knowledge and experience enriched with wisdom are more important for many. your "mindset" is not conducive to accept all which may be because of cultural ethos.
weird on an honest note. i understand whereit stems from i guess.
