Is it "old people getting bad" or "bad people getting old"? Every era has a different code of moral behavior. Different eras have their own different characteristics. Today, with the development of the Internet era, the behavior of some elderly people who violate the moral code of the society has been magnified by the news media, which has indeed aroused criticism from all walks of life.
While a person's cultivation is directly related to his or her knowledge structure, today's elderly people, because of the special characteristics of the era in which they lived at that time, have a vastly different knowledge structure and outlook that is not comparable to that of today's new-age people. In many aspects, they will indeed be prone to do things that are incomprehensible. Although there are quite a number of healthy, optimistic and positive elderly people. But it is also true that there are some elderly people who speak and act only with themselves in mind.
Some older people have not received a traditional education in their youth, and it is not easy for them to be gentle and courteous in their old age. I usually take the bus, are accustomed to give others to give up their seats. But because I often use my cell phone to deal with online stores. So whether I walk or take the bus, I will be very engaged. Completely unable to feel everything around me, won't look up to see what's going on next to me.
On one occasion, I was on a bus and a grandmother came up and stood beside me for half a day. I inadvertently looked up and realized that she was a senior citizen. Then I got up to give up my seat. Then this grandmother gritted her teeth, face red and angry, mouth muttering. It should be scolding me, but I didn't hear the details. I apologized, and she ignored me.
There was also a time when I bought a couple of CDs at a new bookstore. When I was checking out, I had to open the package and scan the code. It was a bit of a hassle to get through the checkout, and there was a bit of a delay. As a result, there is an old man wearing a pair of myopic glasses behind the angry straight scold, buy this thing why? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I didn't dare to squeak.
I think the elderly do not because they become old, can be arbitrary, ignoring the social code of conduct for citizens of every citizen's requirements, feel that they should be respected. Elderly people need to be cared for by all of society. But I hope they can have some faith and spiritual support, have their own business, or like to do things, so that the elderly life becomes more meaningful.
