One more point. Many seasoned citizens volunteer in their communities.... meals on wheels, visit the infirmed in hospitals and nursing homes...etc. I know many who give back to their communities. Including myself.
The seasoned citizen of the 40's and 50's is NOT the one of this twenty-first century. Many take better care of themselves read more and enter this vast information highway to gain better access to the knowledge AND mental challenges to keep them viable individuals. Sans prescriptions...if at all possible.
So old gram/gramps on porchville in their rockers is basically slim to none.
Perhaps that IS the problem. We ARE living longer lives. BUT remember a persons worth is a matter of opinion.
You have it right son.
