There are several perspectives to this and regardless of what we think, seeing an elderly person doing that stress at that age would make you think.

Life can't be the same for everyone and it's really sad when we can't help even when we wish to do. Hopefully, the old man situation is not as bad as we think.

I use to know a woman who go about selling petty things and one day, I felt like what are her children doing. Someone who knows her well said the woman is not suffering, she just can't sit doing nothing.
