Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the son’s fault that his mother doesn’t currently have a steady income, or that she can’t find a job, but it’s probably not her fault either; it’s just not a thing about fault, it is what it is, period. Think about it, that mother probably helped her son through his first 20 years of life and continued to help him when he went through difficult times; it’s not that he owes her the same, but leaving her alone in such a vulnerable state is definitely not the most loving attitude. Trying to find a job in your sixties is not the same as in your thirties; companies won’t hire you, they’ll think your skills are outdated, that you won’t last much in the position, and that you will not have the energy or the mental agility of a 20-year-old (which is nonetheless true). Life would definitely be more beautiful if we started functioning more like communities and organized our lives around giving back. All that said, sometimes life gets in the way, and it becomes really difficult to offer our support in a concrete manner, and money really sometimes just isn’t there to begin with.
