Has most of the world forgotten about senior citizens?
I get the vibe from society that most of us here is North America care little about senior citizens, it is sad to see that these people who taught and raised us are almost left behind and forgotten about.
For instance yesterday my girlfriend and I went out to brunch and this old man who was sitting alone at a table of 8 offered anyone in the waiting room (around 10 people) if they would like to join him. It was sad to see not a single person stood up to join him, so my girlfriend and I did, he was a really nice older fella and i must say i am glad we stood up and sat down with him.
I am def. not looking for medals, it just saddens me that not a single person in the entire place would stand up and join this gentlemen,
why is that?
