Re-reading the book "The Tibetan book of living and dying" by Sogyal Rinpoche and this passage was so true of today's society:
"...the way the elderly, the sick, and the dying are treated today. Our society is obsessed with youth, sex and power, and we shun the old age and decay. Isn't it terrifying that we discard old people when their working life is finished and they are no longer useful? Isn't it disturbing that we cast them into old people's homes, where they die lonely and abandoned?"
