The misguided young people continue the cycle of neglect upon the youth and at the same time, they see the elders as bothersome and put them out to pasture. It is a vicious cycle. It is a sign of a brutal society. It is the reality here. This bookend society we call America is full of people who have lost their way because the anchors of an ordered society are missing.
People here find their way only by accident.
There are no elders to show you the pitfalls, no youngsters looking up to you to be an example. Life here is truly a solitary experience. It is no wonder we have so much depression and other mental illnesses. We aren t crazier than the rest of the world, just lonely.
