"Older people have an obligation to die at the appropriate time."
I hard Ayako Sono (84 years) said so.
Sound like Mr. Trump. People are making noise about it.
For me to live with father in law who is 93 years old. I understand somehow Mrs Sono talking about. Getting old, losing mind, brain and body need manpower to help them same time getting selfish only thinking own problems or who hesitation around in their old age.
Anyway we are face to the reality of human life has become significantly longer, there is a need to reorganize myself and society.
American society decided not live together with old people. but now some system is changing to set up for longer life over 90 to 120.
We know. There is a place where longevity village in the world.
That is promised land where people to live getting benefit of yogurt, olive, apricot and hemp seeds etc. People who live in the land they have healthy old age. We like it. I hope human was created that way of life.
We need to set up our longer life to live with joy.
生まれる日も死ぬ日も自由に出来ない。
ReplyDeleteこの大前提の前に、人は立ち向かう術を持ちません。
如何に生き、如何に終えるかということが
大きな課題です。
曽野綾子氏の暴言も、現実的側面からは「なるほど」と
頷かざるを得ないような...
美しく生き美しく老い、潔く自然体で逝くことが
理想です。誰かが認知症というのは...やはり人生の染みのような
もので、本来そのようであってはならないと。
そうだと思います。自身の意識が失われていく日々が
周囲の人々を悩ませるような生き方をしたくないですね。
現状の悲惨さは、体だけが長持ちして心と頭脳が追いついていないアンバランスですよね。老人が活性化して社会のエネルギーとなる日もやがて来ることでしょう。希望。
