You are correct in that so often modern consumer culture puts old people "out to pasture" as Ajahn Thinassaro has said.<BR/><BR/>Both of my grandmothers are in assisted living homes and my friend and I were just talking about how sad it is that after all the sacrifices our elders have made for us and for society so many end up being dumped in nursing homes and set apart from society.<BR/><BR/>Do you ever think society will make the shift to respecting elders and looking at aging as a natural and normal thing? Thanks for such a thoughtful piece venerable sir.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062221333467776105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-86933099984282388922008-07-21T01:24:00.000-07:002008-07-21T01:24:00.000-07:00"Grandparents often had the job of caring for thei..."Grandparents often had the job of caring for their grandchildren and this kept them occupied and made them feel needed."<BR/><BR/>Bhante, your statement is indeed a consolation for now my wife and I have to sacrifice our freedom to take care of our grand daughter full time.Justin Choohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11275697990382930245noreply@blogger.com
