> old people are daft and impatient
I hope you learn a little more empathy before your parents really need your help. I know old people with vastly more sense and patience than you're displaying, but who nevertheless struggle with many of the issues discussed.
- DunkinYonuts 7y agoI'm 33 and probably thought similar to the original thought at some point in my life. I've only grown sympathetic after seeing the transformation of my dad as he gets older. Without having to make sense of how a profoundly patient and caring man could slowly morph into a slightly short tempered form of himself, I would have never tried to rectify it. I think the original comment actually unintentionally hit the core of it. The younger poster exalted imdomitability. A lot of people grow up enjoying and expect themselves to be technically, personally, and professionally indomitible. Any regression on those fronts is understandably infuriating.
