What's the point of being old?!
Question: What's the point of being old!?
It seems to me that old people are ugly, sometimes constantly in pain, and don't really do anything worthwhile, especially when they're pushed into retirement homes!. What's the point of living in misery!? Why don't more old people just kill themselves!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
1!. Suicide is bad!. Old people are usually wise enough to realize this!.
2!. If they were raised well as a child, they would have gained good wisdom to pass on to future generations!. They're good, not for their health and good looks, but for their knowledge and wisdom!.
Also, sometimes their children aren't ready to give them up!.
Some old people have a very important purpose in their age, thus it's good to let all old people stay with us until they can't go on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

People live their lives and die!. Death is something that a lot of people are affraid of and not everyone is going to get a gun and shoot themselves when they reach 80!. Secondly, those who are sick and in pain may not do anything to heal themselves essentially letting themselves die!. Thirdly, you now have to kill yourself when become "old" and "ugly" or else you will be an "old" and "ugly" hypocrite!.

well, they shouldn't be put into nursing homes!. what should happen- and this is what happened back in the day- is the family should take care of their old out of respect for all that the person did for them!. you can't just love people when they're young and can take care of themselves and then expect them to die when they need help and become an inconvenience!. old people have a lot to teach us, and taking care of them is an important stage for a family!.
i hope that when my parents get old i can take care of them like they took care of me when i was little!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Great question!. I guess they dont off themselves because not all old people are miserable!. Some stay young in their minds!. The ones in pain take painkillers so they dont feel anything!. I guess there are some that fall into the category you are talking about and thats why there is a high rate of suicide and depression in the elderly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Fear of death!. I have a fear of death too, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to be a burden on anyone or live in misery!. I'll probably kill myself when I get to old too!. What is the point in hanging on till the last minute!? Death is inevitable, and if you already had the best times in your life and will only get worse, w why hold on!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
How old are you!?
That is horrible!! This will be you in probably 60 or 70 years since you are most likely 10 right now!.
Instead of wishing death on people WHO GAVE YOU YOUR EXISTENCE AND ALL THE ADVANTAGES AND MODERN CONVENIENCES (YES, OLD PEOPLE DID HAVE A HAND IN SETTING OFF THE HUMAN CHAIN THAT GAVE YOU YOUR IPOD AND LAPTOP), invent policy ideas to give them the repose and tranquility they deserve!.
Shame on you!
