[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All geriatric people are self-focused, in the sense that they talk mostly about themselves, worry about themselves and want others to hear about themselves. This is somewhat like toddlers, who are incredibly limited in their ability to empathize (the whole world must feel the way they do, everyone ought to entertain their wishes). This is partly because old people have very small worlds, and their field of reference gets increasingly smaller with health issues and brain dysfunction. But it is also nature’s last gasp at gene transmission - the elderly have a tendency to overshare personal stories, accomplishments, histories and thoughts because they are at the end of life. “Someone please remember me” is the guiding subconscious principle as we age, and it’s good to realize we will be in the same place someday.[/quote] Actually not all elderly are like this. I for one do not wish to be remembered by anyone! I have destroyed all photos of myself that are in my posession and have plans for no funeral, death announcement or any sort of memorial service. [/quote] Fine. MOST are, however. [/quote]
