Ridiculous, sad, lamentable, recently, the police in Sichuan caught a pair of men and women who were engaged in prostitution transactions, the ridiculous thing is that the prostitute is an 81-year-old uncle, and the customer is a 57-year-old aunt, and their transaction amount is only 25 yuan.
Prostitution is naturally a crime, and the police are also fulfilling their duties, but the exposure of the elderly prostitution incident is a reminder that there are many elderly people around us, and the care and care they receive are far from enough.
Older people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of loneliness
From the beginning of a person's birth, he has entered the countdown to death, and when a person enters old age, he has been able to deal with the fact that he will die one day.
However, the elderly are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of loneliness, and when their significant other is still alive, they are accompanied by someone day and night. However, once the other half of their lives is gone, the rest of them can still chat with their peers during the day to relieve their boredom, but as the sun sets, at night, they have to suffer loneliness silently, and this loneliness is what they are afraid of.
Older people don't want to live, but they need to survive
When a person enters old age, with the decline of physical quality in all aspects, they can neither come to a trip that says go, nor can they be unscrupulous every day, they don't need fine clothes, and they don't need Mercedes-Benz BMW. It can be said that when a person enters old age, they will no longer deliberately pursue the quality of life, for them, physical health and the company of relatives are the most important.
Although the elderly do not pursue the quality of life excessively, they also need to survive, and survival is not an easy task for some elderly people.
Some people may say that the elderly have pensions and pensions.
But in fact, in our country, there are nearly 300 million people over the age of 60, and among them, less than 40% have a pension, and the remaining more than 60% have no pension at all.
Speaking of pensions, like retirement pensions, not every elderly person in the mainland can receive a pension, and if you want to receive a pension, you also need to meet certain conditions. At the same time, in different regions of the mainland, pensions also have different standards, some places have a monthly pension of thousands of yuan, while in some places, the monthly pension is only two or three hundred yuan. It is not difficult to imagine that even if an old man's life is simple, a pension of two or three hundred yuan will not be able to meet their basic living expenses.
Reflections caused by such events
It is precisely because the loneliness of some elderly people cannot be resolved, and the basic survival of some elderly people cannot be satisfied, that among the elderly, there will be prostitution and prostitution.
Everyone hopes that the elders will be able to have companionship, dependence, and support for the elderly in their old age, but because of the busy work and the huge pressure of life, many young people simply cannot find time to accompany the elderly at home, nor can they help the elderly financially.
Resolution
Caring for the elderly is not only the responsibility of contemporary young people, but also the responsibility of the whole society, only when the whole society begins to pay attention to the emotional and survival problems of the elderly, their needs can be truly solved, and their survival can be truly guaranteed.
