Thoughts Stuck in My Brain

I want to share some of my feelings about the elderly, nursing homes, compassion, and the fear of dying. It is hard to find a kindred soul who totally understands my love and compassion for old people (yes, I can use the word "old", it's in the dictionary). I feel our society has relegated our elderly to the trash bin, so to speak. That does seem surprising due to the fact that many of our leaders and potential leaders in our country are over 50 or even 60. That used to be considered old. But I am talking about the ones who are past that, those who are hindered in some way physically, socially or mentally. I feel there is some real discrimination in our society.
