The natural role of the elderly was to teach the youngest. To pass the knowledge, the lifetime experience, traditions, memories, a sense of connection to ancestry, etc. To help the next generation establish their roots. To become strong.

Severing that connection seems kind of useful to certain ends.

🌄 Good morning (here in UTC -7) ☕ Nice to "hear" from you, @manoldonchev.

"Severing that connection ..."

Indeed. Espoused today by a generation raised with the barbaric (hmmm, I wonder what my opinion of it is?) notion that abortion is ... "normal?" Or at least ... "necessary?" As the legacy of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, of whom it was once written (my paraphrase, from memory, but pretty close):

"In one of the cruel ironies of history, with Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and ... Sanger ... born at close to the same time, how is it that three of them are rightly condemned, but the fourth? Margaret Sanger? Responsible for more deaths than the other three combined? "Worshipped" as a saint!"

Today, in America, we have "right to die" states, where one would go, if they wish to end their lives "voluntarily." As @ecoinstant has written and to your point, how much longer do you think it will remain anywhere close to "voluntary," in their zero sum philosophy of what is "right?" And what is "good?"

"The natural role of the elderly was to teach the youngest."

Agreed. Vitally important, right behind this, is what were they teaching them?
