Like what W.Clark Boutwell wrote in his Old Men and Infidel series, there is a divide between youth and the elderly even in the real, contemporary world. This divide helps determine those that society can still benefit from and those that don’t. However, contrary to this somehow popular and accepted belief, older people are still essential and beneficial members of any society. Unlike what most cultures practice, perhaps, they still have the right to live in dignity despite their old ages. As they say, with age comes wisdom. Older people possess wisdom, experiences, and skills that most younger people lack, and these should make them assets rather than liabilities in their communities.
