In your country how do you deal with old people?

Families who take care of their elderlies are very commendable. But those who showed disrespect and taking advantage will also reap what they are doing in return. I once spent a week at a home for elderlies and one of the grandma who is suffering from painful arthritis shares that she was not good to her elders and now she believes to be reaping what she was doing as a young person.

I have to agree Bleaushell, you reap what you sow. My father met a man, who has no family now, whn he was young, he disrespected his parents several times and said that he woul make a name for himself and never return back to them, not even a thank you he gave to his parents and elders and left. This man, did as he said it, he build a name for himself, turned rich materially and thought was living a good life. When he had his family, he raised him in his way, to make yourself useful and think of yourself, and not of the family, with no human values... nothing. When this man reached old age, he decided that he wanted to share his wealh with his sons and daughters to wich he had many. However, when he goes to his lawyers to make a living will, it turned ot that his children and stolen him of his wealth. He was living at his home, but he was no longer in charge, his sons and daughters were. They chose to sale the property and left him ou on the street, he later asked himself what did he do to deserve his children´s apathy, the man´s brother stated,¨"you would have done the same if it were our mother and father". He is currently living in a home, still hoping that maybe one if his children would come visit him. They allforgot about him. It was so sad.

What a great family you have! I think that is very true to many asian countries... :)

That is really a very commendable way of giving respect to elders. It feels good to be in a country who will respect you even when you are not as productive as the new generations. The sad thing archie0 is, not all countries do take care of their elders.
