Imagine seeing a elderly woman in decent attire talking to the vegetables in the supermarket ,and talking to your mum by the bread section, as if their familiar while they are actually complete strangers.<\/p>\n\n

Leaving your mum with water in their eyes.<\/p>\n\n

Then a old man sitting in the local bus scouting for potential conversation not minding staying on the whole \u00a0long journey, even when they reached their stop ,as their not in just another bus journey. There on a journey to increase their diminishing friendship list.<\/p>\n\n

Also a elderly woman \u00a0standing in a train with a walking stick ,and not one person \u00a0offer them a seat ,everyone \u2018\u2019oblivious\u2019\u2019 \u00a0with their heads buried\u00a0 \u00a0in a book or bumping to their headphones, but nonetheless their happy \u00a0because\u00a0 even if\u00a0 they collapse at least it\u2019s Infront of witnesses.<\/p>\n\n

Not in a empty house with only their faithful cat as companion.<\/p>\n\n

Imagine these scenes are happening in \u00a0Britain.<\/p>\n\n

I remember watching a episode of the British crime drama \u2018\u2019 The Bill\u2019\u2019 were a \u00a0elderly man died alone in his house, and police only did wellness \u00a0check due to a concerned neighbor, and while they were processing the scene with the body still there.<\/p>\n\n

The son arrived, and said to the officers \u2018\u2019that no one touch anything, as I want to know the money is safe\u2019,\u2019 and I know the valuables that are in his room so don\u2019t touch anything.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n

Not once asking or looking at his dad. Leaving the responding \u00a0officers at the scene \u00a0looking baffled, and disturbed by his greedy nature.<\/p>\n\n

I know it\u2019s a drama, but as I say most dramas are based from some real- life scenarios.<\/p>\n\n

And also I heard one acquaintance put her parent who was battling cancer \u00a0in a\u00a0 residential \u00a0home, as \u00a0she said she didn\u2019t want to be burdened with the responsibility of being a carer, but why is it \u00a0the people that are \u00a0last to take the \u00a0responsibility of caring for a elderly person are the first people that will be at the will reading.<\/p>\n\n

When did we get so callous and money -orientated?<\/p>\n\n

Were advanced countries, but we still have some backward attitude in our treatment to the elderly.<\/p>\n\n

Not all British people especially youth have disdain for the elderly.<\/p>\n\n

During the pandemic I saw young people volunteering in care homes, a young beautician giving senior people free manicures.<\/p>\n\n

What I\u2019m urging is\u00a0 more of the younger generation \u00a0to take the initiative to give elderly people some more time and regard.<\/p>\n\n

Simple acts of kindness may not mean much to you, but to them it\u2019s like \u00a0your\u00a0 giving them a reason to hang around longer in a world they may at times think has forgotten about them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
