  • If Seniors are lucky enough to be financially stable and can travel or perhaps take up something they have always loved to do such as art or other projects; becomes active in their community then they build on that self esteem. Some Seniors are plagued with ill health and unfortunately are limited to what they can do and become depressed or bed-ridden, but a vast majority are still very active. Men in particular generally work three quarters of their life so it is difficult for some men to settle in to being around home more and this includes the wife having her husband around more often. Some retired couples may do other activities and enjoy being around their home (perhaps gardeners or golfers), but often the males or females may go back to work part-time because they miss the camaraderie of their coworkers. Often times society neglects to understand the wisdom of many of the Seniors and that they are still very useful in society if given a chance and has a tendency either to treat them like they have had a lobotomy or dismisses the fact they are even surviving and therefor it is the younger aspect of society that takes away the dignity and oppresses the elderly. The elderly still want to remain independent; keep their dignity and be useful both in the family or in any aspect of Society. It is Society that can be ignorant to the fact that just because a person is over the age of 60 they are no longer useful .. not true for most. Some companies in Canada are asking retired Seniors to come back to work to teach the younger employees their jobs in the company that Senior previously worked in. In Canada a person 70 years or older cannot be denied a job if they prove they are capable of that job and have no serious health issues. Society has to sit up and take notice of Seniors or 'elderly' as they are so often called and remind themselves that it was the elderly that made changes to make a better life for future generations and that death is not reserved for the elderly because death can occur at any age. It isn't about age when it comes to Seniors mixed in with the younger generation, but wisdom. Seniors rock!
