Our elderly and our children, two groups who should be cherished and loved and well cared for. Yet, our culture seems to warehouse many of them in the poorest conditions and pay minimum wages to the people hired to care for them. And we "wonder" why there is neglect and abuse? What is the rationale? What are we thinking? Are we thinking? What are our memories of those who touched our lives as children? Have we stopped to think about our future, when we can no longer care for ourselves? One would think that self preservation would push us to remedy the situation if shame had not already done so.
