I clean houses of some rich people. Some, those who worked for their money, treat me with respect. Others do talk down to me. Thankfully I’m in the position to decline working for people who talk down to me. I don’t think that they realize it. If they do, they are horrible people. I remember once going into a large convention/hotel area to prepare for a huge dinner/event. I dressed nice because I was visiting to discuss everything that needed to be done. On the elevator I talked to some nice women about the upcoming event. As soon as I mentioned why I was at the center, the looks on their faces were like they had just been dealing with raw feces. At first, I was shocked and embarassed. Then, I felt sorry for them, for their ignorance. ‘Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do.’

1. Our elders built this society,just as we are building it today. They fought it wars; taught schools; worked as a salesclerk or construction worker etc. They joined unions for worker’s rights; they suffered from diseases we now have cures for; they voted for laws to protect the average citizen from those with alot of power. To me, our elders deserve our respect. 2. Ref. ‘grumpy.’ Aren’t you grumpy when in pain, hungry or sleepy? Elderly people tend to live in pain and therefore have problems sleeping too. They can’t eat what they used to because of disease or somebody else preparing their meals. Once proud and independent people, now become more dependent because thier bodies are declining. It can be embarassing. Younger people tend to look at elderly as ‘elderly’ and not as the individual people they are. Elderly people still think and desire all the things you and I do: sex, road rage, gossip,…. Look at yourself, don’t you still think in much the same way you did 5 or 10 years ago? Don’t look at the wrinkled skin of an older person, look in their eyes. See through their eyes. With our health technology, you most likely will live to become elderly and have to live with pain, disrespect and dependence.
