International day of older persons
1 October
According to the wisdom of the Mayas, it takes 50 years to learn life circles. From then on, one was considered mature and wise.
In today societies, we tend to forget that.
Ageism is a new plague, where eldery people are excluded . Perhaps because they can not be fooled.
Today the discrimination , lack of respect and despise of elderly people becomes shocking.
Instead of giving them a place of honor, which they often deserve, they face the arrogance of younger generations. Even their own children.
This is not how it should be and one of the latest aggressions against the fundamental rights of elderly people.
A real shame spreading across families and nations. A dehumanization and growing lack of solidarity and care.
Some even impose euthanasia upon them without any scruples. Again, shame on them.
For all the others who do care and love their parents and who help elderly people, especially those in need, thank you!
60+ Counts as they say!
Let us celebrate them on the first of october and give them a special attention!

Yeah it’s really sad how older people get pushed to the side now a days and are forgotten once that age. Younger people have become very ignorant and rude and just see them as a nuisance. We need to go back to honoring them and helping them in any way we can.
Hi Denise
So much sadness and isolation for so many eldery people indeed.
Forgotten by their families and set apart. The real shame of our age.
Same goes for so many little ones dropped every day in nurseries of all kind.
We have lost our sense of family and need to reflect on how to improve that.
How to balance family, work and society (in that order)
How to find ways to give compensation to all those selfless caregivers at home,
instead of hiring people.
Thank you for your visit.
Have a great day!

I agree that older people tend to be forgotten these days. Our society was shaped by them, so it’s nice to hear about the international day of older persons 🙂 I know some elders who don’t like to interact with younger people and always think they know everything, but I also know some of them actually care about us, They can be hard, but they also want the best from us and teach their experience, so we won’t repeat the same mistake. Happy international day of older persons 🙂
Yes. As long as the relation is two ways… and balanced, all is ok.
Reality check can be very disrupting.
Thank you. Stay safe.
