I was watching a heart wrenching documentary on TV earlier on the state of dementia care homes in Britain... These poor people being treated like bothersome objects by staff that couldn’t care less, or so disheartened and bored that they no longer cared to show the pensioners any trace - not one ounce - of compassion, let alone to treat them with dignity... So many ancient faces, their faces withered by the years, crackled like the finest pages of parchment... left to rot in solitude and complete apathy. One very, very old man who could no longer walk grabbed the journalist’s hand and begged in a weak, rasped voice: “please, please...”

“Please what?” asked the journalist in the softest tone.

“Please... Help us.”

As I said, heart wrenching.


So that’s what awaits the masses, eh? Now that the fabric of society is being dissolved to nothingness, now that children grow up to kick their aging parents out in the cold, now that parents kick their young out of the nest before the time is right, now that every person is out for themselves, for profit, in the vacuum that is the pursuit of so-called happiness... We are conditioned not just to live to work, we are destined to end our days in ‘adequate’ facilities stripped naked of any remnant of dignity.
