Protection to senior citizens

Our society has changed enormously in the past few decades. Earlier, old people were given love, respect and treated with utmost humility and care. What has really happened to our society in the last few years? Every day whenever I open the newspaper I find news on killings of senior citizens for money. I mean that’s such a shame. Youngsters probably in their mid and early 20’s are doing such heinous crimes. Majority of the times these murders are done for anything related to money. Senior citizens are considered as easy targets due to old age weakness and the fact that most of them stay alone. It makes me think what has really gone wrong with the upbringing of our new generation?

I can still understand people without any education background committing such murders but today you can find even highly educated people involved in this act of disgrace. The question that needs to be answered is ‘Has money taken priority over human values?’ and ‘What has happened to our society and our so-called traditional values?’ Our parents always taught us the importance of hard work and patience. I feel the current mentality of some people is to earn quick bucks without any pain. They are ready to do whatever helps them to make fast money.

Our educational system needs to take serious note of this. We need to teach the new generation that money is not everything and whoever follows the path of quick money will be a major failure in life. That’s not everything. I have seen parents stress the importance of money to their children. This must stop immediately. Children must realize that money is secondary. Human values, emotions, friendships, relationships stand topmost priority. Unless each and every person realizes and implements it, these things are not going to change. The law order process must include strict directives to punish the offenders. If anyone kills a senior citizen he must be punished in such a way that no one dares to do such a shameful act.

We really need to take proper preventive and corrective actions against people offending senior citizens.
