Don't forget the past, don't do anything if you haven't experienced it

Especially good.

It seems that there are few films that tell Alzheimer's patients from the perspective of patients.

feeling bad.

People tend to have enough patience and tolerance for their children, but they may tacitly believe that even when their parents are old, they will maintain enough brainpower to live without the need to be as patient and tolerant as children.

It's true and unfair to say that, even if it's actually based on the very sad fact that it takes only a few years to go from a newborn to being able (both physically and mentally) to live and enjoy the world, After that, there is no need to involve too much energy of parents. The most important thing is to see that hope is approaching step by step. As people get older, if you are not the lucky one, you may start from the age of 60 or 70, and you will suffer the pain caused by the reduction of physical or mental power. This pain may accompany the old man and his family for ten, twenty, thirty years. And the most important thing is the step-by-step departure of hope, accompanied by long-term pain.

But even so, I hope that human beings can be more, more, more patient, understanding, and tolerant towards the elderly. I do not understand. Everyone will grow old one day, these old people are not people who have nothing to do with us. What we are facing may be our future parents, our future other half, our future self, why are we so harsh about what the future looks like?

The neglect of the elderly in this society is already extremely serious. Manufacturers, companies, and governments that promote smartphone payment, mobile booking, mobile ticketing, mobile shopping, mobile taxis, and mobile phone green codes, have you ever thought that the elderly cannot learn these? Has urban infrastructure construction been popularized for the elderly? Is it optimized; are the doctors and nurses in nursing homes and hospitals doing their due diligence in the care of the elderly; are scientists researching Alzheimer’s drugs getting enough research funding for them to make effective drugs as soon as possible; and Do people with different divisions of labor in many societies take into account the elderly, or their own situation when they get old... Of course, what is more important is whether children give enough care, understanding, patience, tolerance...

It's really hard, so it's hard.

I hope that we have all experienced the awareness of not forgetting the past and not doing anything that we have not experienced.
